He shewes that the Iewes are become monsters, and vnworthy to bee reckoned among men; no, not among the brute beasts. For there is more vnderstanding in the sea, tossed with furious tempests; than in men, who seemed to be endowed with sense and reason. This is the drift and scope of this comparison.
But because this complaint was very bitter, the Prophet hath used an interrogation: Will ye not fear me? As if God should say, What means this? Is it possible that I should not be feared, nor reverenced of you? The sea obeys me, and by my secret command her fury is staid; because I ⟨p. 298⟩have once ordained she should keep within her limits: and albeit she be violently tossed up and down with her waves and tempests; yet doth she not pass beyond the bounds which I have set her. And O ye sons of men that are reasonable creatures! will not ye fear me? will not ye tremble, or fear before my face?
