The princes of Judah are become like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.

And they shall waste the land of Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof; and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.

He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.

When I made the cloud its garment, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it; When I cut out for it my boundary, and set bars and doors, And said, Hitherto shalt thou come and no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.

when he imposed on the sea his decree that the waters should not pass his commandment, when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

Will ye not fear me? saith Jehovah. Will ye not tremble at my presence, who have set the sand a bound for the sea by a perpetual decree, and it shall not pass it? and its waves toss themselves, but they do not prevail; and they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
