The Creator continued his questioning: “Who barricaded the sea with doors, which began to go forth as when it burst out from the womb; when I put the cloud as its garment and thick gloom as its swaddling band, and I proceeded to break up my regulation upon it and to set a bar and doors, and I went on to say, ‘ This far you may come, and no farther; and here your proud waves are limited ’? ” ​ — Job 38: 8 - 11.
Looja jätkas küsitlust: „Kes sulges ustega mere, kui see esile murdes emaüsast väljus, kui ma panin pilved selle katteks ja pilkase pimeduse mähkmeks, kui ma sellele lõin korra, panin riivid ja uksed ning ütlesin:„ Siitsaadik sa võid tulla, mitte edasi, siin vaibugu su uhked lained! ”? ”.
