Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

27. are . end-literally, "all their wisdom swallows up itself," destroys itself by vain and contradictory devices, such as despair induces.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

107:23-32 Let those who go to sea, consider and adore the Lord. Mariners have their business upon the tempestuous ocean, and there witness deliverances of which others cannot form an idea. How seasonable it is at such a time to pray! This may remind us of the terrors and distress of conscience many experience, and of those deep scenes of trouble which many pass through, in their Christian course. Yet, in answer to their cries, the Lord turns their storm into a calm, and causes their trials to end in gladness.


Job 12:25 "They grope in darkness with no light, And He makes them stagger like a drunken man.
Isaiah 24:20 The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard And it totters like a shack, For its transgression is heavy upon it, And it will fall, never to rise again. (NASB ©1995)
