This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





That lieth down to sleep, of which that word is frequently used,



in the midst of the sea; 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 extreme danger joined with great security.



The top of a mast; the worst part of the ship, both for its perpetual tossings, and for the hazard of him that sleeps on it.
