I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
Literal
I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; and I do not have rest, and turmoil has come.”

Nonne dissimulavi? nonne silui? nonne quievi? et venit super me indignatio.
Original
Hebrew
English
I am not at ease or quiet; I have no rest, for trouble has come.”
Notes
Job's outbreak of emotion did not mean his integrity failed under pressure (42:7–8; James 5:11). The prophets Elijah and Jeremiah, both men of God, exaggerated with similar language (1 Kings 19:4; Jeremiah 20:14–18).
