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!
