16. Hast thou entered as far as the springs of the sea? and hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?
17. Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? and hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?

22. Hast thou entered into the storehouses of the snow, and hast thou seen the treasuries of the hail,
23. Which I have reserved for the time of distress, for the day of battle and war?
24. By what way is the light parted, and the east wind scattered upon the earth?
