Job 38:9 in Context — Job 38

7 Alors que les étoiles du matin éclataient en chants d’allégresse, Et que tous les fils de Dieu poussaient des cris de joie?

8 Qui a fermé la mer avec des portes, Quand elle s’élança du sein maternel;

9 Quand je fis de la nuée son vêtement, Et de l’obscurité ses langes;

10 Quand je lui imposai ma loi, Et que je lui mis des barrières et des portes;

11 Quand je dis: Tu viendras jusqu’ici, tu n’iras pas au-delà; Ici s’arrêtera l’orgueil de tes flots?
