The sailors go up to heaven, and down into the deep; their souls are wasted because of their trouble. They are turned here and there, rolling like a man who is full of wine; and all their wisdom comes to nothing.

Then they are glad, because the sea is quiet, and he takes them to the harbour of their desire.
