Job 38:19 — Meaning and Application

Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

Where {is} the way {where} light dwelleth? and {as for} darkness, where {is} the place thereof,

That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths {to} the house thereof? {to the bound: or, at, etc}

Knowest thou {it}, because thou wast then born? or {because} the number of thy days {is} great?
