And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

Verse 11 is found in chapter 38 of Job. God finally answers from the whirlwind and asks Job who darkens counsel with words without knowledge. Instead of directly explaining the cause of suffering, God asks about the origin of creation and Job’s ability to understand it. The method of the response directs attention toward the distance between human knowledge and divine government.

und sprach: "Bis hierher sollst du kommen und nicht weiter; hier sollen sich legen deine stolzen Wellen!"
Y dije: Hasta aquí vendrás, y no pasarás adelante, Y ahí parará la hinchazón de tus ondas?
y le dije: “Hasta aquí llegarás y no pasarás; aquí se detendrá el orgullo de tus olas”?
Quand je dis: Tu viendras jusqu'ici, tu n'iras pas au delà; Ici s'arrêtera l'orgueil de tes flots?
E dissi: Tu verrai fin qua, e non passerai più innanzi; E qui si fermerà l’alterezza delle tue onde?
E disse: Até aqui virás, e não mais adiante, e aqui se parará o orgulho das tuas ondas?
說:『你只可到這裏,不可越過; 你狂傲的浪要到此止住。』
