Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Wollt ihr mich nicht fürchten, spricht Jehova, und vor mir nicht zittern? Der ich dem Meere Sand zur Grenze gesetzt habe, eine ewige Schranke, die es nicht überschreiten wird; und es regen sich seine Wogen, aber sie vermögen nichts, und sie brausen, aber überschreiten sie nicht.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
¿A mí no temeréis? dice Jehová; ¿no os amedrentaréis á mi presencia, que al mar por ordenación eterna, la cual no quebrantará, puse arena por término? Se levantarán tempestades, mas no prevalecerán; bramarán sus ondas, mas no lo pasarán.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Por acaso não me temereis?diz o SENHOR; Não vos assombrareis perante mim, que pus a areia por limite ao mar por ordenança eterna, a qual não passará? Ainda que se levantarem suas ondas, mas elas não prevalecerão; ainda que bramem, não a passarão.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Vós não Me temeis? — Esta é a declaração de Yahweh — nem tremeis diante da Minha face? Eu coloquei a areia como limite para o mar, um decreto contínuo que não se pode violar, ainda que as ondas subam e desçam, mesmo assim, não o violam. Embora as ondas rujam, elas não o ultrapassam.
📖 Jeremiah 5:22 in Context
20Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
22Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
23But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
24Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
