## Jeremiah 5:22-23 in Context (Verses 19–26 KJV)
 
 [19 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/19) ¶ And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these *things* unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land *that is* not yours.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/20) Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
 
 [21 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/21) Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/22) 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?
 
 [23 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/23) But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/24) Neither 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.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/25) ¶ Your iniquities have turned away these *things*, and your sins have withholden good *things* from you.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/jeremiah/5/26) For among my people are found wicked *men:* they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.*
 
[Jeremiah 4](/kjv/jeremiah/4) [Jeremiah 6](/kjv/jeremiah/6)
