Job 38

4 Where wast thou when I founded the earth?

Tell me now, if thou hast knowledge,

5 Who set the measures of it, if thou knowest?

Or who stretched a line upon it?

6 On what are its rings fastened?

And who is he that laid the cornerstone upon it?

7 When the stars were made,

All my angels praised me with a loud voice.

8 And I shut up the sea with gates,

When it rushed out, coming forth out of its mother’s womb.

9 And I made a cloud its clothing,

And swathed it in mist.

10 And I set bounds to it,

Surrounding it with bars and gates.

11 And I said to it, Hitherto shalt thou come, but thou shalt not go beyond,

But thy waves shall be confined within thee.
