17. Have the gates of death been shown to you,or have you seen the gates of darkness?
18. Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth?Tell me, if you know it all.
19. What is the way to the dwelling of light,and darkness—where is its place?
20. That you may take it to its territoryand know the paths to its home?
21. You know, because you were born then,and the number of your days is great!
22. Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,and seen the storehouses of the hail
23. Which I have reserved for times of distress,for a day of war and battle?
24. What is the way to the parting of the winds,where the east wind spreads over the earth?
25. Who has laid out a channel for the downpourand a path for the thunderstorm
26. To bring rain to uninhabited land,the unpeopled wilderness;
27. To drench the desolate wastelandtill the desert blooms with verdure?
