New International Version (NIV)

11when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;

here is where your proud waves halt’?

11And I said, ‘As far as this point you shall come, but no farther;

And here your proud waves shall stop’?

11And said, ‘This far you shall come, but no farther;

And here your proud waves shall stop’? [Ps 89:9; 93:4]

11and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther;

here your proud waves must stop’?

11And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further;

And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

11And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no farther, and here shall it stay thy proude waues.

11and said, ‘You may come here, but no further.

Your proud waves shall be stopped here’?

11I said, ‘You can come this far.

But you can’t come any farther.

Here is where your proud waves have to stop.’

11I said to the sea,

“This is as far as you can come.

You may come no further.

Your powerful waves must stop there!”

11And say, To here you come, and no more, || And a command is placed || On the pride of your billows.
