¹⁶ “Have you entered into the sea’s sources?
Or have you walked around in the recesses of the deep?
¹⁷ Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
Or have you seen the gates of deep shadow?
¹⁸ Have you considered closely the earth’s vast expanse?
Declare it, if you know all of it.
¹⁹ “Where then^[a] is the way where the light dwells?
And where then^[b] is its place,
²⁰ that you may take it to its territory,
and that you might discern the paths to its home?
²¹ You know, for you were born then,
and the number of your days is great.
