Proverbs23:34
34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea , or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast .
To sleep, of which that word is frequently used.
In a Ship in the midst of the Sea, This Phrase notes the temper and condition of the Drunkard, the giddiness of his Brain, the unquietness of his Mind, and especially his extream danger joyned with great security.
The worst part of the Ship, both for its perpetual tossings, and for the hazard of him that sleeps in it.
Marginal references: Heb. in the heart of the Sea.
