8. And He shutteth up with doors the sea, In its coming forth, from the womb it goeth out.
9. In My making a cloud its clothing, And thick darkness its swaddling band,
10. And I measure over it My statute, And place bar and doors,
11. And say, `Hitherto come thou, and add not, And a command is placed On the pride of thy billows.'
12. Hast thou commanded morning since thy days? Causest thou the dawn to know its place?
13. To take hold on the skirts of the earth, And the wicked are shaken out of it,
14. It turneth itself as clay of a seal And they station themselves as clothed.
15. And withheld from the wicked is their light, And the arm lifted up is broken.
16. Hast thou come in to springs of the sea? And in searching the deep Hast thou walked up and down?
17. Revealed to thee were the gates of death? And the gates of death-shade dost thou see?
18. Thou hast understanding, Even unto the broad places of earth! Declare--if thou hast known it all.
19. Where [is] this--the way light dwelleth? And darkness, where [is] this--its place?
20. That thou dost take it unto its boundary, And that thou dost understand The paths of its house.
21. Thou hast known--for then thou art born And the number of thy days [are] many!
22. Hast thou come in unto the treasure of snow? Yea, the treasures of hail dost thou see?
