Don't you fear me? says Yahweh: won't you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can't pass it? and though the waves of it toss themselves, yet they can't prevail; though they roar, yet they can't pass over it.

King James Version Public Domain
Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

Should you not fear me—the declaration of Yahweh— or should you not tremble from my face? For I have placed sand a border for the sea, an eternal decree and it does not cross over it, and it rises and falls, still it would not prevail, and its waves roar, still they do not cross over it.
