Job 38:10-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 38
10And I placed boundaries on it And set a bolt and doors, 11And I said, ‘As far as this point you shall come, but no farther; And here your proud waves shall stop’? 12'Have you ever in your life commanded the morning, And made the dawn know its place, 13So that it would take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked would be shaken off from it? 14It is changed like clay under the seal; And they stand out like a garment. 15Their light is withheld from the wicked, And the uplifted arm is broken. 16'Have you entered the springs of the sea, And walked in the depth of the ocean? 17Have the gates of death been revealed to you, And have you seen the gates of deep darkness?King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
11when I declared: "You may come this far, but no farther; your proud waves stop here"?
12Have you ever in your life commanded the morning or assigned the dawn its place,
13so it may seize the edges of the earth and shake the wicked out of it?
14The earth is changed as clay is by a seal; its hills stand out like the folds of a garment.
New Living Translation
Chapter 38
10For I locked it behind barred gates, limiting its shores. 11I said, ‘This far and no farther will you come. Here your proud waves must stop!’
12'Have you ever commanded the morning to appear and caused the dawn to rise in the east?
13Have you made daylight spread to the ends of the earth, to bring an end to the night’s wickedness?
14As the light approaches, the earth takes shape like clay pressed beneath a seal; it is robed in brilliant colors.
15The light disturbs the wicked and stops the arm that is raised in violence.
English Standard Version
Chapter 38
10and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors, 11and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed’? 12"Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place, 13that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it? 14It is changed like clay under the seal, and its features stand out like a garment. 15From the wicked their light is withheld, and their uplifted arm is broken. 16"Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep? 17Have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?New International Version
11when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt’?
12"Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place,
13that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it?
14The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment.
