Job 38:8–9

8 “Who shut up the sea behind doors

when it burst forth from the womb,

9 when I made the clouds its garment

and wrapped it in thick darkness,

8 “Or who shut in the sea with doors

when it burst out from the womb,

9 when I made clouds its garment

and thick darkness its swaddling band,

8 Or who shut up the sea with doors,

When it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof,

And thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

8 “Who kept the sea inside its boundaries

as it burst from the womb,

9 and as I clothed it with clouds

and wrapped it in thick darkness?

8 “Or who shut in the sea with doors,

When it burst forth and issued from the womb;

9 When I made the clouds its garment,

And thick darkness its swaddling band;

8 “Who shut the doors to keep the sea in

when it broke through and was born,

9 when I made the clouds like a coat for the sea

and wrapped it in dark clouds,

8 And who shut up the sea with doors, when it burst forth, issuing out of the womb? 9 When I made the cloud its garment, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it;

8 “Who shut the sea behind gates 

when it burst through and came out of the womb, 

9 when I clothed it with clouds 

and wrapped it up in dark clouds, 

8 Who enclosed the sea behind doors

when it burst from the womb,

9 when I made the clouds its garment

and thick darkness its blanket,

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,

8 “Or who shut the sea in with doors

at its bursting, when it went out of the womb,

9 at my making the clouds its garment

and thick darkness its swaddling band,

8 “Who created the ocean?

Who caused it to be born?

9 I put clouds over it as if they were its clothes.

I wrapped it in thick darkness.

8 “Or who enclosed the sea with doors

When, bursting forth, it went out from the womb;

9 When I made a cloud its garment

And thick darkness its swaddling band,
