Job 38:8-18

8 Or [who] shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb?
9 When I made a cloud its garment, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it,
10 And broke 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 day-spring to know its place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of 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 withheld, 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 to thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shades of death?
18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
