11 I told it, “So far and no farther!Here your powerful waves must stop.”
12 Job, have you ever in all your lifecommanded a day to dawn?
13 Have you ordered the dawn to seize the earthand shake the wicked from their hiding places?
14 Daylight makes the hills and valleys stand outlike the folds of a garment,clear as the imprint of a seal on clay.
15 The light of day is too bright for the wickedand restrains them from doing violence.
16 Have you been to the springs in the depths of the sea?Have you walked on the floor of the ocean?
17 Has anyone ever shown you the gatesthat guard the dark world of the dead?
