Job 38:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8–9 : God asks, Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it (Job 38:8–9 ). God controls the sea, setting limits for it and covering it with clouds and darkness like clothing for a newborn child (Genesis 1:9; Psalm 104:6
