Job 38:16-21
New King James Version
16 “Have you (A)entered the springs of the sea?
Or have you walked in search of the depths?
17 Have (B)the gates of death been [a]revealed to you?
Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18 Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth?
Tell Me, if you know all this.
19 “Where is the way to the dwelling of light?
And darkness, where is its place,
20 That you may take it to its territory,
That you may know the paths to its home?
21 Do you know it, because you were born then,
Or because the number of your days is great?

And the number of thy days is great!
