16 “Have you entered into the springs of the sea?
    Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep?
17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
    Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
18 Have you comprehended the earth in its width?
    Declare, if you know it all.

19 “What is the way to the dwelling of light?
    As for darkness, where is its place,
20 that you should take it to its bound,
    that you should discern the paths to its house?
21 Surely you know, for you were born then,
    and the number of your days is great!

And walked [a]in the depth of the ocean?

18 Have you understood the [b]expanse of (C)the earth?
Tell Me, if you know all this.

And darkness, where is its place,
20 That you would take it to (D)its territory,
And discern the paths to its [c]home?

And the number of your days is great!
