16Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea?

Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?

17Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee?

Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?

18Hast thou comprehended the earth in its breadth?

Declare, if thou knowest it all.

19Where is the way to the dwelling of light?

And as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

20That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof,

And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof?

21Doubtless, thou knowest, for thou wast then born,

And the number of thy days is great!

22Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow,

Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

23Which I have reserved against the time of trouble,

Against the day of battle and war?

24By what way is the light parted,

Or the east wind scattered upon the earth?

25Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood,

Or the way for the lightning of the thunder;

26To cause it to rain on a land where no man is;

On the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

27To satisfy the waste and desolate ground,

And to cause the tender grass to spring forth?
