⁹ You set a boundary that they may not pass,
    so that they might not again cover the earth.^(A)

¹⁰ and prescribed bounds for it,
    and set bars and doors,^(A)
11 and said, ‘Thus far shall you come and no farther,
    and here shall your proud waves be stopped’?^(B)

²² Do you not fear me? says the Lord;
    Do you not tremble before me?
I placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
    a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass;
though the waves toss, they cannot prevail;
    though they roar, they cannot pass over it.^(A)

¹⁰ He has described a circle on the face of the waters,
    at the boundary between light and darkness.^(A)

⁷ He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
    he put the deeps in storehouses.
