38:12 Have you ever in your life
or made the dawn know
38:13 that it might seize the corners of the earth,
and shake the wicked out of it?
38:14 The earth takes shape like clay under a seal;
its features
38:15 Then from the wicked the light is withheld,
and the arm raised in violence
38:16 Have you gone to the springs that fill the sea,
or walked about in the recesses of the deep?
38:17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
Have you seen the gates of deepest darkness?
38:18 Have you considered the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know it all!
38:19 “In what direction
and darkness, where is its place,
38:20 that you may take them to their borders
and perceive the pathways to their homes?
38:21 You know, for you were born before them;
and the number of your days is great!
38:22 Have you entered the storehouse
or seen the armory
38:23 which I reserve for the time of trouble,
for the day of war and battle?
38:24 In what direction is lightning
or the east winds scattered over the earth?
