Bible Comments

But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

But the wicked (are) like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest - rather х kiy (H3588)], 'for it can have no rest' (Job 15:20, etc.; Proverbs 4:16-17). The English version represents the sea as occasionally agitated, but the Hebrew expresses that it can never be at rest.
