Job 38:9-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

9. when I made clouds its garmentand thick darkness its swaddling band,

10. and prescribed limits for itand set bars and doors,

11. and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?

12. “Have you commanded the morning since your days began,and caused the dawn to know its place,

13. that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth,and the wicked be shaken out of it?

14. It is changed like clay under the seal,and its features stand out like a garment.

15. From the wicked their light is withheld,and their uplifted arm is broken.

16. “Have you entered into the springs of the sea,or walked in the recesses of the deep?
