17. Have the gates of death been opened to thee, and hast thou seen the darksome doors?
18. Hast thou considered the breadth of the earth? tell me, if thou knowest all things?
19. Where is the way where light dwelleth, and where is the place of darkness:
20. That thou mayst bring every thing to its own bounds, and understand the paths of the house thereof.
21. Didst thou know then that thou shouldst be born? and didst thou know the number of thy days?
22. Hast thou entered into the storehouses of the snow, or has thou beheld the treasures of the hail:
23. Which I have prepared for the time of the enemy, against the day of battle and war?
24. By what way is the light spread, and heat divided upon the earth?
25. Who gave a course to violent showers, or a way for noisy thunder:
26. That it should rain on the earth without man in the wilderness, where no mortal dwelleth:
27. That it should fill the desert and desolate land, and should bring forth green grass?
28. Who is the father of rain? or who begot the drops of dew?
29. Out of whose womb came the ice; and the frost from heaven who hath gendered it?
30. The waters are hardened like a stone, and the surface of the deep is congealed.
31. Shalt thou be able to join together the shining stars the Pleiades, or canst thou stop the turning about of Arcturus?
