Jeremiah 5:22

5:22 “You should fear me!” says the Lord.

“You should tremble in awe before me! ¹ 

I made the sand to be a boundary for the sea,

a permanent barrier that it can never cross.

Its waves may roll, but they can never prevail.

They may roar, but they can never cross beyond that boundary.” ² 

Hebrews 12:21

12:21 In fact, the scene ³  was so terrifying that Moses said, “I shudder with fear.” ⁴ 

¹ tn Heb “Should you not fear me? Should you not tremble in awe before me?” The rhetorical questions expect the answer explicit in the translation.

² tn Heb “it.” The referent is made explicit to avoid any possible confusion.

³ tn Grk “that which appeared.”

⁴ tn Grk “I am terrified and trembling.”
