Job 38:11–12

11 when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;

here is where your proud waves halt’?

12 “Have you ever given orders to the morning,

or shown the dawn its place,

11 and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,

and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?

12 “Have you commanded the morning since your days began,

and caused the dawn to know its place,

11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further:

And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days;

And caused the dayspring to know his place;

11 I said, ‘This far and no farther will you come.

Here your proud waves must stop!’

12 “Have you ever commanded the morning to appear

and caused the dawn to rise in the east?

11 when I said to the sea, ‘You may come this far, but no farther;

this is where your proud waves must stop’?

12 “Have you ever ordered the morning to begin,

or shown the dawn where its place was

11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further;

And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began,

And caused the dayspring to know its place;

11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come and no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

12 Hast thou since thy days commanded the morning? hast thou caused the dawn to know its place,

11 when I said, ‘You may come this far but no farther. 

Here your proud waves will stop’? 

12 “Have you ever given orders to the morning 

or assigned a place for the dawn 

11 when I declared: “You may come this far, but no farther;

your proud waves stop here”?

12 Have you ever in your life commanded the morning

or assigned the dawn its place,

11 and said, ‘Thus far shall you come and no farther,

and here shall your proud waves be stopped’?

12 “Have you commanded the morning since your days began

and caused the dawn to know its place,

11 and I said, ‘You shall come up to here, but you shall not go further,

and here it will set a boundary for your proud surging waves’?

12 “Have you ever in your life commanded the morning?

Have you made the dawn know its place,

11 I said, ‘You can come this far.

But you can’t come any farther.

Here is where your proud waves have to stop.’

12 “Job, have you ever commanded the morning to come?

Have you ever shown the sun where to rise?

11 And I said, ‘Thus far you shall come, but no farther;

And here shall your proud waves stop’?

12 “Have you ever in your life commanded the morning,

And caused the dawn to know its place,
