Job 38:16

38:16 Have you gone to the springs that fill the sea, ¹ 

or walked about in the recesses of the deep?

Job 41:31

41:31 It makes the deep boil like a cauldron

and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment, ² 

[38:16]  ¹ tn Heb “the springs of the sea.” The words “that fill” are supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning of the phrase.

[41:31]  ² sn The idea is either that the sea is stirred up like the foam from beating the ingredients together, or it is the musk-smell that is the point of comparison.
