‘Will you not tremble at My presence,
Who have placed the sand as the (B)bound of the sea,
By a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass beyond it?

‘Do you not fear Me?’ says the Lord.
‘Do you not tremble [in awe] in My presence?
For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
An eternal decree and a perpetual barrier beyond which it cannot pass.

Though the waves and the billows roar, yet they cannot cross over [the barrier].
[Is not such a God to be feared?]
