King James Version (KJV)

Job 38:9

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

Verse in context — Job 38

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,

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

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