Job 38:9
7 while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8 Who enclosed the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb,
when I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its blanket,
10 when I fixed its boundaries and set in place its bars and doors,
11 and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther; here your proud waves must stop’?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
