Appears 5 times in Scripture
“Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves. But Jesus was sleeping.”
“But the ship struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was being broken up by the pounding of the waves.”
“but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.”
“Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.”
“They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.”
