Hitherto.Thus far shall thy flux and reflux extend.
The tides are marvellously limited and regulated, not only by the lunar and solar attraction, but by the quantum of time required to remove any part of the earth's surface, by its rotation round its axis, from under the immediate attractive influence of the sun and moon.
Hence the attraction of the sun and moon, and the gravitation of the sea to its own centre, which prevent too great a flux on the one hand, and too great reflux on the other, are some of those bars and doors by which its proud waves are stayed, and prevented from coming farther.

3Y arrojólo al abismo, y le encerró, y selló sobre él, porque no engañe más á las naciones, hasta que mil años sean cumplidos: y después de esto es necesario que sea desatado un poco de tiempo.
7Y cuando los mil años fueren cumplidos, Satanás será suelto de su prisión,

thy proud waves.
Heb. the pride of thy waves.
 The wicked, like the foaming sea, seem to rise higher and higher in their violence and pride, but God says to them, “Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further.” Thus His restraining power over evil is seen. As Job witnessed iniquity seemingly triumphant, as he looked into the dark surging of his own self-willed heart, he might well have been appalled; who but God can control evil? (Job 38-42:6 by S. Ridout)
