Job 38:6-14 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. On what were its bases sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone,

7. when the morning stars were singing together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8. “Or who shut the sea in with doors at its bursting, when it went out of the womb,

9. at my making the clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band,

10. and I prescribed my rule for it, and I set bars and doors,

11. and I said, ‘You shall come up to here, but you shall not go further, and here it will set a boundary for your proud surging waves’?

12. “Have you ever in your life commanded the morning? Have you made the dawn know its place,

13. to take hold of the earth’s skirts so that the wicked might be shaken off from it?

14. It is changed like clay under a seal, and they appear like a garment.
