“I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.”
Job concludes his lament by declaring that he has no peace, no quiet, and no rest, only trouble coming to him—a final affirmation of his total immersion in suffering and despair. The absence of peace mirrors the lack of peace that Leviathan itself knows according to biblical tradition, suggesting that Job has become identified with the cosmic forces of chaos. The lament concludes without resolution or comfort, leaving Job suspended in his despair.
