34You will be like one sleeping on the high seas,

Or like one who lies down on the top of a 23:34 Or lookoutmast.

34And you will be like one who lies down in the middle of the sea,

Or like one who lies down on the top of a Or lookoutmast.

34And you will be [as unsteady] as one who lies down in the middle of the sea,

And [as vulnerable to disaster] as one who lies down on the top of a ship’s mast, saying,

34You will be like one sleeping on the high seas

or lying on the top of a mast:

34You will feel like someone sleeping on the ocean.

You will think you are lying among the ropes in a boat.
