Job 7:12

Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you set a watch over me?
All Commentaries on Job 7:12 Go To Job 7

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
Sea. Ungovernable and malicious. Some of the ancients looked upon the sea as a huge animal, whose breathing caused the tides. (Strabo i.; Solin xxxii.) They represented its fury as proverbial. "Fire, the sea, and woman are three evils "and they call the most savage people sons of Neptune. (Agel. xv. 21.) Am I so violent as to require such barriers? Am I capacious, or strong enough to bear such treatment? (Calmet)
