Job 38:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 38:8
God asks: 'Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?' This poetic description of creation's boundaries (sea contained, womb imagery) reveals divine power ordering chaos. Job who questions God's governance wasn't present when God established cosmic order.
