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

Dirt. Literally, "treading "conculcationem. (Haydock)
The works of the wicked are fruitless. They have no content. (Calmet) Non enim gazæ neque consular is Summovet lictor miseros tumultus, Mentis et curas laqueata circum, Tecta volantes.
-- (Horace, ii. ode 16.)
The obstinate sinner can receive no pardon. (Worthington)
