If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea. The wings of morning suggest speed and swiftness; taking such wings implies traveling at maximum possible velocity. The farthest limits of the sea represents the geographical extreme of the known world. Even reaching such an extreme through superhuman speed and extending to the earth's farthest reaches would not escape God. This verse employs hyperbolic imagery to emphasize that physical distance is irrelevant to God's omniscience and presence.
