⁴ ‘Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
    Tell me, if you have understanding.

⁸ ‘Or who shut in the sea with doors
    when it burst out from the womb?—
⁹ when I made the clouds its garment,
    and thick darkness its swaddling band,
¹⁰ and prescribed bounds for it,
    and set bars and doors,
¹¹ and said, “Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
    and here shall your proud waves be stopped”?
