17Haue the gates of death bene opened vnto thee? or hast thou seene the doores of the shadow of death? 18Hast thou perceiued the breadth of the earth? Declare if thou knowest it all. 19Where is the way where light dwelleth? And as for darknesse, where is the place thereof? 20That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the pathes to the house thereof. 21Knowest thou it, because thou wast then borne? or because the number of thy daies is great?

Wesley's Notes for Job 38:19
38:19 Dwelleth - Hath its constant and settled abode. Whether goes the sun when it departs from this hemisphere? Where is the tabernacle and the chamber in which he is supposed to rest? And seeing there was a time when there was nothing but gross darkness upon the face of the earth, what way came light into the world? Which was the place where light dwelt at that time, and whence was it fetched? And whence came that orderly constitution and constant succession of light and darkness? Was this thy work? Or wast thou privy to it, or a counsellor, or assistant in it?
