Job 38:9 — Meaning and Application

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Or {who} shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, {as if} it had issued out of the womb?

When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

And brake up for it my decreed {place}, and set bars and doors, {brake...: or, established my decree upon it}

And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? {thy...: Heb. the pride of thy waves}
