Job 38:16-21
English Standard Version
16 “Have you (A)entered into the springs of the sea,
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
17 Have (B)the gates of death been revealed to you,
or have you seen the gates of (C)deep darkness?
18 Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
Declare, if you know all this.
19 “Where is the way to the dwelling of light,
and where is the place of darkness,
20 that you may take it to its territory
and that you may discern (D)the paths to its home?
21 You know, for (E)you were born then,
and the number of your days is great!
Job 38:16-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 Have you traveled to the sources of the sea
or walked in the depths of the oceans?
17 Have the gates(A) of death been revealed to you?
Have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
18 Have you comprehended the extent of the earth?
Tell Me, if you know all this.
19 Where is the road to the home of light?
Do you know where darkness lives,
20 so you can lead it back to its border?
Are you familiar with the paths to its home?
21 Don’t you know? You were already born;(B)
you have lived so long![a]
