"What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside? Can you take them to their places? Do you know the paths to their dwellings? Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years!"
where does darkness reside?
Genesis 1:4-5 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day" and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day.
Job 28:3 "Man puts an end to the darkness; he searches the farthest recesses for ore in the blackest darkness."
Psalm 139:11-12 If I say "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
Do you know the paths to their dwellings?
Job 24:13 "There are those who rebel against the light, who do not know its ways or stay in its paths."
Surely you know, for you were already born!
Job 15:7 "Are you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?"
