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.
21
audi populus stulte qui non habes cor qui habentes oculos non videtis et aures et non auditis
22
me ergo non timebitis ait Dominus et a facie mea non dolebitis qui posui harenam terminum mari praeceptum sempiternum quod non praeteribit et commovebuntur et non poterunt et intumescent fluctus eius et non transibunt illud
23
populo autem huic factum est cor incredulum et exasperans recesserunt et abierunt
24
et non dixerunt in corde suo metuamus Dominum Deum nostrum qui dat nobis pluviam temporaneam et serotinam in tempore suo plenitudinem annuae messis custodientem nobis
25
iniquitates nostrae declinaverunt haec et peccata nostra prohibuerunt bonum a nobis
