Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 38:8

Verse 8. Who shut up the sea with doors ] Who gathered the waters together into one place, and fixed the sea its limits, so that it cannot overpass them to inundate the earth? When it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? - This is a very fine metaphor. The sea is represented as a newly born infant issuing from the womb of the void and formless chaos; and the delicate circumstance of the liquor amnii, which bursts out previously to the birth of the foetus, alluded to. The allusion to the birth of a child is carried on in the next verse.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 4-11 - For the humbling of Job, God here shows him his ignorance, eve concerning the earth and the sea. As we cannot find fault with God' work, so we need not fear concerning it. The works of his providence as well as the work of creation, never can be broken; and the work of redemption is no less firm, of which Christ himself is both the Foundation and the Corner-stone. The church stands as firm as the earth.
