And you will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, and like one who lies down on the top of the rigging.

你必像躺在海中，或像卧在桅杆上。

你必像躺在深海中，或卧在桅杆顶上，

你必像躺在深海中，或卧在桅杆顶上，

你好像躺在怒海中，又像卧在桅杆顶上。

其危也、若偃息海中、高枕桅上。

必使爾如寢於海中、臥於桅頂、

You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging.

You will feel like someone sleeping on the ocean. You will think you are lying among the ropes in a boat.

You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, like one who lies on the top of a mast.

You will stagger like a sailor tossed at sea, clinging to a swaying mast.

You’ll be like someone sleeping out at sea or lying down on the top of a ship’s mast.

And 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 mast.

Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, Or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying:

Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, Or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

His servant Zimri, a commander of half of his chariot force, conspired against him. While Elah was drinking heavily at the house of Arza, who supervised the palace in Tirzah,

For you know quite well that the day of the Lord will come in the same way as a thief in the night.Now when they are saying,“ There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will surely not escape.But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the darkness for the day to overtake you like a thief would.For you all are sons of the light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of the darkness.So then we must not sleep as the rest, but must stay alert and sober.For those who sleep, sleep at night and those who get drunk are drunk at night.

“ But be on your guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day close down upon you suddenly like a trap.

Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you wine drinkers, because the sweet wine has been taken away from you.

People were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage– right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot, people were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

So he took David down, and they found them spread out over the land. They were eating and drinking and enjoying themselves because of all the loot they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.But David struck them down from twilight until the following evening. None of them escaped, with the exception of four hundred young men who got away on camels.

For in those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark.

Absalom instructed his servants,“ Look! When Amnon is drunk and I say to you,‘ Strike Amnon down,’ kill him then and there. Don’t fear! Is it not I who have given you these instructions? Be strong and courageous!”

By the blast of your nostrils the waters were piled up, the flowing water stood upright like a heap, and the deep waters were solidified in the heart of the sea.

Praised be your good judgment! May you yourself be rewarded for having prevented me this day from shedding blood and taking matters into my own hands!Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives– he who has prevented me from harming you– if you had not come so quickly to meet me, by morning’s light not even one male belonging to Nabal would have remained alive!”Then David took from her hand what she had brought to him. He said to her,“ Go back to your home in peace. Be assured that I have listened to you and responded favorably.”When Abigail went back to Nabal, he was holding a banquet in his house like that of the king. Nabal was having a good time and was very intoxicated. She told him absolutely nothing until morning’s light.In the morning, when Nabal was sober, his wife told him about these matters. He had a stroke and was paralyzed.After about ten days the LORD struck Nabal down and he died.

They marched out at noon, while Ben Hadad and the thirty-two kings allied with him were drinking heavily in their quarters.The servants of the district governors led the march. When Ben Hadad sent messengers, they reported back to him,“ Men are marching out of Samaria.”He ordered,“ Whether they come in peace or to do battle, take them alive.”They marched out of the city with the servants of the district governors in the lead and the army behind them.Each one struck down an enemy soldier; the Syrians fled and Israel chased them. King Ben Hadad of Syria escaped on horseback with some horsemen.Then the king of Israel marched out and struck down the horses and chariots; he thoroughly defeated Syria.The prophet visited the king of Israel and instructed him,“ Go, fortify your defenses. Determine what you must do, for in the spring the king of Syria will attack you.”
