¹¹ Who was it you dreaded and feared,
so that you lied and didn’t remember me
or take it to heart?
I have kept silent for a long time, haven’t I?^[a](A)
So you do not fear me.

²² Do you not fear me?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Do you not tremble before me,
the one who set the sand as the boundary of the sea,
an enduring barrier that it cannot cross?^(A)
The waves surge, but they cannot prevail.
They roar, but cannot pass over it.

⁷ I said: ‘You will certainly fear me’
and accept correction.
Then her dwelling place^[a]
would not be cut off
based on all that I had allocated to her.
However, they became more corrupt
in all their actions.
