Or (who) shut up the sea with doors, When it brake forth, (as if) it had issued out of the womb;
When I made clouds the garment thereof, And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,
And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof?
By what way is the light parted, Or the east wind scattered upon the earth?
When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,
When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;
Fear ye not me? saith Jehovah: will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it.
