Job 7:12
_ _ Why dost thou deny me the comfort of care-assuaging sleep? Why scarest thou me with frightful dreams?
_ _ Amos I a sea — regarded in Old Testament poetry as a violent rebel against God, the Lord of nature, who therefore curbs his violence (Jeremiah 5:22).

Job 7:12
A sea — Am I as fierce and unruly as the sea, which, if thou didst not set bounds to it, would overwhelm the earth? Or, am I a vast and ungovernable sea — monster? Which thou must restrain by thy powerful providence. That, &c. — That thou shouldest guard and restrain me with such heavy and unexampled miseries? We are apt in affliction to complain of God, as if he laid more upon us than there is occasion for: whereas we are never in heaviness, but when there is need, nor more than there is need. |
