16 “Have you entered into (A)the springs of the sea
Or walked [a]in the recesses of the deep?

Or have you seen the gates of the (B)shadow of death?
18 Have you carefully considered the [b]expanse of (C)the earth?

And darkness, where is its place,
20 That you may take it to (D)its territory
And that you may discern the paths to its [c]home?
21 You know, for (E)you were born then,
And the number of your days is great!
