Ver. 23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart They are not so obedient as the sea and its waves; nor so firm and stable as the sand that is set for the bound of it. This is a reproof and an aggravation of the revoltings and rebellions of this people: they are revolted and gone; they had departed from the ways of the Lord, and were gone back from his worship, as the Targum; and were gone into evil ways, and to a false worship; they not only had revolted, but they went on, they continued therein, and went further and further, off from God and his worship.

"¿No me teméis?"declara el SEÑOR. "¿No tembláis delante de mí, que puse la arena como frontera del mar, límite perpetuo que no traspasará? Aunque se agiten las olas, no prevalecerán; aunque rujan, no pasarán sobre ella.
23
"Pero este pueblo tiene un corazón terco y rebelde; se han desviado y se han ido.
24
"Y no dicen en su corazón: "Temamos ahora al SEÑOR nuestro Dios, que da la lluvia a su tiempo, tanto la lluvia de otoño como la de primavera, y que reserva para nosotros las semanas establecidas de la cosecha.'

"Vuestras iniquidades han alejado estas cosas, y vuestros pecados os han privado del bien.
