Jeremiah 5:22
King James Version
“Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand 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?”
