Proverbs 8:29

when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

In context

27 When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,

28 when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,

29 when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

30 then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,

31 rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.
