²⁹ In His setting for the sea its limit, And the waters transgress not His command, In His decreeing the foundations of earth,

⁹ A border Thou hast set, they pass not over, They turn not back to cover the earth.

⁹ And God saith, `Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:' and it is so.

¹⁰ And God calleth to the dry land `Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called `Seas;' and God seeth that `it is' good.

⁴ Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding.

⁵ Who placed its measures -- if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched out upon it a line?

⁶ On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?

⁷ In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy,

⁸ And He shutteth up with doors the sea, In its coming forth, from the womb it goeth out.

⁹ In My making a cloud its clothing, And thick darkness its swaddling band,

¹⁰ And I measure over it My statute, And place bar and doors,

¹¹ And say, `Hitherto come thou, and add not, And a command is placed On the pride of thy billows.'

⁷ Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.

⁵ He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.

²² Me do ye not fear, an affirmation of Jehovah? From My presence are ye not pained? Who hath made sand the border of the sea, A limit age-during, and it passeth not over it, They shake themselves, and they are not able, Yea, sounded have its billows, and they pass not over.
