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
Escucha esto, pueblo necio e insensato,que tiene ojos pero no ve,que tiene oídos pero no oye.
22
¿Acaso has dejado de temerme?—afirma el SEÑOR—.¿No debieras temblar ante mí?Yo puse la arena como límite del mar,como frontera perpetua e infranqueable.Aunque se agiten sus olas,no podrán prevalecer;aunque bramen,no franquearán esa frontera.
23
Pero este pueblo tiene un corazón terco y rebelde;se ha descarriado, ha sido infiel.
24
No reflexionan ni dicen:“Temamos al SEÑOR, nuestro Dios,quien a su debido tiempo nos da lluvia,las lluvias de otoño y primavera,y nos asegura las semanas señaladaspara la cosecha”.
25
Las iniquidades de ustedesles han quitado estos beneficios;sus pecados los han privadode estas bendiciones.
