"Who enclosed the sea with doors, when it broke forth as if issuing from the womb, "
— Job 38:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?”
“ Orwho shut up the sea with doors, When it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb; ”
“"Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth from the womb,”
““Who shut up the sea with doors when it burst forth, coming out of the womb,”
“Who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth as issuing out of the womb:”
“Or where were you when the sea came to birth, pushing out from its secret place;”
“Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?”
Who set its measurements, if you know, or who stretched a line over it?
Upon what have its bases been grounded, and who set forth its cornerstone,
when the morning stars praised me together, and all the sons of God made a joyful noise?
Who enclosed the sea with doors, when it broke forth as if issuing from the womb,
when I stationed a cloud as its garment and wrapped it in a mist as if swaddling an infant?
I encircled it with my limits, and I positioned its bars and doors.
And I said: “This far you will approach, and you will proceed no further, and here you will break your swelling waves.”
