9. When I made the clouds its garmentand thick darkness its swaddling bands?
10. When I set limits for itand fastened the bar of its door,
11. And said: Thus far shall you come but no farther,and here shall your proud waves stop?
12. Have you ever in your lifetime commanded the morningand shown the dawn its place
13. For taking hold of the ends of the earth,till the wicked are shaken from it?
14. The earth is changed as clay by the seal,and dyed like a garment;
15. But from the wicked their light is withheld,and the arm of pride is shattered.
16. Have you entered into the sources of the sea,or walked about on the bottom of the deep?
17. Have the gates of death been shown to you,or have you seen the gates of darkness?
18. Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth?Tell me, if you know it all.
