Job 38:9-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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.

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

16. “Have you entered into the sea’s sources? Or have you walked around in the recesses of the deep?
