New Testament

Job 38:7-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. while the morning stars sang in unisonand all the divine beings shouted?

8. Who enclosed the Sea behind doorswhen it burst forth from the womb,

9. when I made the clouds its garment,the dense clouds its wrap,

10. when I imposed my limit for it,put on a bar and doors

11. and said, "You may come this far, no farther;here your proud waves stop"?

12. In your lifetime have you commanded the morning,informed the dawn of its place

13. so it would take hold of earth by its edgesand shake the wicked out of it?

14. Do you turn it over like clay for a seal,so it stands out like a colorful garment?

15. Light is withheld from the wicked,the uplifted arm broken.

16. Have you gone to the sea’s sources,walked in the chamber of the deep?

17. Have death’s gates been revealed to you;can you see the gates of deep darkness?
