Job 38:8-18
-
8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
-
9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
-
10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
-
11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
-
12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
-
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
-
14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
-
15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
-
16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
-
17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
-
18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
