When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband
And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out
