11. It was when I said to the sea, ‘You may come this far, but no farther.This is where your proud waves must stop.’
12. “Have you ever given orders for morning to begin?Or have you shown the dawn where its place was?
13. The dawn takes hold of earth by its edgesand shakes evil people out of it.
14. At dawn the earth changes like clay being pressed by a seal.The hills and valleys stand out like folds in a coat.
15. Light is not given to evil people.Their arm is raised to do harm, but it is broken.
16. “Have you ever gone to where the sea begins?Or have you walked in the valleys under the sea?
17. Have the gates of death been opened to you?Or have you seen the gates of the deep darkness?
18. Do you understand the great width of the earth?Tell me, if you know all these things.
19. “What is the path to light’s home?And where does darkness live?
20. Can you take them to their places?Do you know the way to their homes?
21. Surely you know, if you were already born when all this happened!Have you lived that many years?
