But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

The verse 20 is found in chapter 57 of Isaiah. The chapter denounces idolatry and corrupt religious practices in Israel, but also promises comfort to the humble and contrite. God dwells with the brokenhearted, so divine transcendence does not imply distance from human suffering. The absence of peace for the wicked closes the section by reminding us that restoration does not eliminate moral responsibility.

Aber die Gottlosen sind wie ein ungestümes Meer, das nicht still sein kann, und dessen Wellen Kot und Unflat auswerfen.
Mas los impíos son como la mar en tempestad, que no puede estarse quieta, y sus aguas arrojan cieno y lodo.
Pero los malvados son como el mar agitado, que no puede estar quieto y cuyas aguas arrojan cieno y lodo.
Mais les méchants sont comme la mer agitée, Qui ne peut se calmer, Et dont les eaux soulèvent la vase et le limon.
Ma gli empi sono come il mare sospinto, il quale non può quietare, e le cui acque cacciano fuori pantano e fango.
Mas os ímpios são como o mar bravo, porque não se pode aquietar, e as suas águas lançam de si lama e lodo.
但是惡人好像翻騰的海, 不得平靜; 其中的水常湧出污穢和淤泥。
