BrLXX Μὴ ἐμὲ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε; λέγει Κύριος· ἢ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου οὐκ εὐλαβηθήσεσθε; τὸν τάξαντα ἄμμον ὅριον τῇ θαλάσσῃ, πρόσταγμα αἰώνιον, καὶ οὐχ ὑπερβήσεται αὐτὸ, καὶ ταραχθήσεται, καὶ οὐ δυνήσεται· καὶ ἠχήσουσι τὰ κύματα αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐχ ὑπερβήσεται αὐτό.

BrTr will ye not be afraid of me? saith the Lord; and will ye not fear before me, who have set the sand for a bound to the sea, as a perpetual ordinance, and it shall not pass it: yea, it shall rage, but not prevail; and its waves shall roar, but not pass over it.
ULT Should you not fear me—the declaration of Yahweh—
⇔ or should you not tremble from my face?
⇔ For I have placed sand as a border for the sea,
⇔ an eternal decree and it does not cross over it,
⇔ and if it rises and falls, still it would not prevail,
⇔ and if its waves roar, still they do not cross over it.
UST Why do you not have any awesome respect for me?
⇔ You should tremble when you are in my presence!
⇔ I, Yahweh, am the one who put a barrier along the shores
⇔ so that the waters of the ocean cannot cross it and flood the land.
⇔ The waves roll and roar, but they cannot go past that barrier.
BSB Do you not fear Me?”
⇔ declares the LORD.
⇔ “Do you not tremble before Me,
⇔ the One who set the sand as the boundary for the sea,
⇔ an enduring barrier it cannot cross?
⇔ The waves surge, but they cannot prevail.
⇔ They roar but cannot cross it.
OEB Fear ye not Me? saith Jehovah,
⇔ Tremble ye not at My presence,
⇔ Who hath set the sand as a bound for the sea,
⇔ As a barrier eternal which cannot be passed?
⇔ Its waters may toss, but they cannot prevail;
⇔ Its waves may roar, yet they cannot pass over it.
WEBBE Don’t you fear me?’ says the LORD; ‘Won’t you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it can’t pass it? Though its waves toss themselves, yet they can’t prevail. Though they roar, they still can’t pass over it.’
WMBB (Same as above)
NET “You should fear me!” says the Lord.
⇔ “You should tremble in awe before me!
⇔ 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.”
LSV Do you not fear Me?” A declaration of YHWH; “Are you not pained from My presence? Who has made sand the border of the sea,
A perpetual limit, and it does not pass over it,
They shake themselves, and they are not able,
Indeed, its billows have sounded, and they do not pass over.
FBV Aren't you afraid of what I can do? declares the Lord. Don't you think you should tremble in my presence? I am the one who set up the shore as the sea's boundary, an everlasting limit that it can't cross. The waves crash against it, but they can't defeat it. They roar, but they can't cross the barrier.
T4T Why do you not revere me [RHQ]?
⇔ You should [RHQ] tremble when you are in my presence!
⇔ I, Yahweh, am the one who put a barrier along the shores
⇔ so that the waters of the ocean cannot cross it and flood the land.
⇔ The waves roll and roar, but they cannot go past that barrier.
LEB • [fn] Yahweh, “Do you not tremble[fn] • For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea, • [fn] and it cannot pass over it, • and they rise and fall loudly, but they cannot prevail, • and its waves roar, but they cannot pass over it.

5:19 Literally “a limit of eternity”
BBE Have you no fear of me? says the Lord; will you not be shaking with fear before me, who have put the sand as a limit for the sea, by an eternal order, so that it may not go past it? and though it is ever in motion, it is not able to have its way; though the sound of its waves is loud, they are not able to go past it.
