Job 38:16-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 “Have you entered into the springs of the sea
or walked in the recesses of the deep?(A)
17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you,
or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?(B)
18 Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
Declare, if you know all this.(C)
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 the paths to its home?(D)
21 Surely you know, for you were born then,
and the number of your days is great!(E)
Job 38:16-21
International Standard Version
16 “Have you been to the source of the sea
and walked about in the recesses of the deepest ocean?
17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness?
18 Do you understand the breadth of the earth?
Tell me, since you know it all!
19 “Where is the road to where the light lives?
Or where does the darkness live?
20 Can you take it to its homeland,
since you know the path to his house?
21 You should know! After all, you had been born back then,
so the number of your days is great!
