【释义】：

到此为止，不能再下去了；(喻)绝对的界限；不可越雷池一步

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of womb?

When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

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

Job 38:8-1!

“海水冲出，如出胎胞。

那时谁将它关闭呢?

是我用云彩当海的衣服，用幽暗当包裹它的布。

为它定界限，又安门和闩，

说：‘你只可到这里，不可越过；你狂傲的浪要到此止住’。”

《约伯记》38∶8－11］
