Job 38:16-18
New English Translation

16 Have you gone to the springs that fill the sea,[a]
or walked about in the recesses of the deep?
17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you?[b]
Have you seen the gates of deepest darkness?[c]
18 Have you considered the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know it all.
