New Testament

Job 38:8-17 American Standard Version (ASV)

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 clouds the garment thereof, And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,

10. And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,

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;

13. That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?

14. It is changed as clay under the seal; And all things stand forth as a garment:

15. And from the wicked their light is withholden, And the high arm is broken.

16. Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?

17. Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?
