Job 38:19

[By personifying light and darkness, God now asks where they live. The real question being asked may be—where is heaven and where is the realm of death? Whether literal or figurative, Job does not know the answer. The verse is a merism (contrast between light and darkness) and a chiasm.]
Where does the way to
the dwelling place of light go,
and darkness,
where does it dwell?
