The verses around it, from Job 38.
4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.

10 when I fixed its boundaries and set in place its bars and doors,
11 and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther; here your proud waves must stop’?
12 In your days, have you commanded the morning or assigned the dawn its place,
