Description

A wooden plank in two parts that contains a quote from Job 38. It is handpainted, with a forest green background and a series of flowers. The quote reads: "Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further he said. And here shall the proud waves be staid. Amen." A scrap of paper is taped to the back side of one plank that reads: "Job 38, God answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, who is this? Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Who laid the cornerstones, when the morning stars all sang together? Who shut the sea with doors...v.II: And said, hither to shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?"
