Job 38:4-11

4“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me if you have ⌞such⌟ insight.

5Who determined its dimensions? Certainly, you know! Who stretched a measuring line over it?

6On what were its footings sunk? Who laid its cornerstone

7when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8“Who shut the sea behind gates when it burst through and came out of the womb,

9when I clothed it with clouds and wrapped it up in dark clouds,

10when I set a limit for it and put up bars and gates,

11when I said, ‘You may come this far but no farther. Here your proud waves will stop’?
