8 “Who shut the sea behind gateswhen it burst through and came out of the womb,
9 when I clothed it with cloudsand wrapped it up in dark clouds,
10 when I set a limit for itand put up bars and gates,
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 morningor assigned a place for the dawn
13 so that it could grab the earth by its edgesand shake wicked people out of it?
14 The earth changes like clay stamped by a seal,and ⌊parts of it⌋ stand out like ⌊folds in⌋ clothing.
