King James Version (KJV)

Job 38:11

“And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?”

Verse in context — Job 38

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,

And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; [and] caused the dayspring to know his place;

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

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
