¹⁰ He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness.

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 clouds the garment thereof, And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,

¹⁰ And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,

¹¹ And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

²⁹ 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;

⁷ He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layeth up the deeps in store-houses.

²² 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.

²² While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

⁶ Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.

⁷ At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away

⁸ (The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

⁹ Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.

⁹ For this is `as' the waters of Noah unto me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

¹⁰ For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my lovingkindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah that hath mercy on thee.
