they will never cover the earth again.^(A)

²⁷ I was there when he established the heavens,^(A)
when he laid out the horizon on the surface of the ocean,^(B)

²⁹ when he set a limit for the sea
so that the waters would not violate his command,^(A)
when he laid out the foundations of the earth.^(B)

²² Do you not fear me?

the one who set the sand as the boundary of the sea,
an enduring barrier that it cannot cross?^(A)
The waves surge, but they cannot prevail.
They roar but cannot pass over it.
