Fear 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?

The verse 22 is found in chapter 5 of Jeremiah. God announces a powerful foreign nation as an instrument of discipline. However, judgment does not mean absolute destruction: it is stated that there will be no complete extermination. The chapter concludes with an accusation against priests, prophets, and rulers who have allowed corruption, showing that the crisis affects the institutions responsible for guiding the people.

Wollt ihr mich nicht fürchten? spricht der HERR, und vor mir nicht erschrecken, der ich dem Meer den Sand zum Ufer setzte, darin es allezeit bleiben muß, darüber es nicht gehen darf? Und ob's schon wallet, so vermag's doch nichts; und ob seine Wellen schon toben, so dürfen sie doch nicht darüberfahren.
¿A mí no temeréis? dice Jehová; ¿no os amedrentaréis a 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.
¿No me temen a mí? —declara Jehová—. ¿No tiemblan ante mí, que puse la arena como límite al mar, frontera perpetua que no puede traspasar? Aunque sus olas se agiten, no podrán vencerla; aunque rujan, no podrán traspasarla.
Ne me craindrez-vous pas, dit l'Eternel, Ne tremblerez-vous pas devant moi? C'est moi qui ai donné à la mer le sable pour limite, Limite éternelle qu'elle ne doit pas franchir; Ses flots s'agitent, mais ils sont impuissants; Ils mugissent, mais ils ne la franchissent pas.
Non mi temerete voi? dice il Signore; non avrete voi spavento di me, che ho, per istatuto perpetuo, posta la rena per termine del mare, il quale egli non trapasserà; e benchè le sue onde si commuovano, non però verranno al disopra; e benchè romoreggino, non però lo trapasseranno?
Porventura não me temereis a mim? diz o SENHOR; não temereis diante de mim, que pus a areia por limite ao mar, por ordenança eterna, que ele não traspassará? Ainda que se levantem as suas ondas, não prevalecerão; ainda que bramem, não a traspassarão.
你們難道不懼怕我嗎? 在我面前還不戰兢嗎? 這是耶和華說的。 我以沙為海的界限, 作永遠的條例,使它不得越過。 波浪洶湧,卻不能勝過; 怒濤澎湃,仍無法越過。
