Thematic Bible: The sea controlled


Thematic Bible



He marks out the horizon on the surface of the waters as a boundary between light and darkness.

"Who shut up the sea with doors when it burst forth, coming out of the womb,

when I said, 'To here you may come and no farther, here your proud waves will be confined'?


You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross, so that they would not cover the earth again.

when he gave the sea his decree that the waters should not pass over his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

"You should fear me!" says the Lord. "You should tremble in awe before me! I made the sand to be a boundary for the sea, a permanent barrier that it can never cross. Its waves may roll, but they can never prevail. They may roar, but they can never cross beyond that boundary."
