11 when I said to the sea, ‘You may come this far, but no farther;this is where your proud waves must stop’?
12 “Have you ever ordered the morning to begin,or shown the dawn where its place was
13 in order to take hold of the earth by its edgesand shake evil people out of it?
14 At dawn the earth changes like clay being pressed by a seal;the hills and valleys stand out like folds in a coat.
15 Light is not given to evil people;their arm is raised to do harm, but it is broken.
16 “Have you ever gone to where the sea beginsor walked in the valleys under the sea?
17 Have the gates of death been opened to you?Have you seen the gates of the deep darkness?
