Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
Fear ye not me? ... which have placed the sand - though made up of particles easily shifting about, I render it sufficient to curb the violence of the sea. Such is your monstrous perversity that the raging, senseless sea sooner obeys me than ye do who profess to be intelligent (Calvin). (Job 38:10-11; Revelation 15:4.)
