New American Standard Bible
"He makes the depths boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a jar of ointment.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like an ointment jar.

(When a large crocodile dives to the bottom, the violent agitation of the water may justly be compared to liquor boiling in a caldron; and his body being strongly impregnated with the scent of musk, the water is affected by it to a considerable distance. In the oriental style, great rivers and lakes are called seas.)

Job 41:20 Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
