Haydock's commentary
The deep as growing old. Growing hoary, as it were, with the froth which he leaves behind him. (Challoner)
The Vulgate has well expressed the force of the original, and shews the rapidity with which the crocodile moves. (Calmet)
Protestants, "one would think the deep to be hoary." The devil transforms himself into an angel (Haydock) of light. (Du Hamel)
