You will lie down
This phrase suggests a state of rest and peace. In the Hebrew context, "lie down" (שָׁכַב, shakab) often implies a sense of security and tranquility, free from the anxieties that disturb sleep. In the ancient Near Eastern culture, the ability to lie down without fear was a sign of divine blessing and protection. It reflects a return to the peace that Job once knew before his trials, symbolizing restoration and divine favor.

without fear
The absence of fear (פַּחַד, pachad) is significant in the Hebrew Scriptures, often associated with the presence and protection of God. Fearlessness is a recurring theme in the wisdom literature, where trust in God leads to a life free from dread. Historically, fear was a common part of life due to threats from enemies, wild animals, or natural disasters. This promise of fearlessness indicates a profound trust in God's sovereignty and care.

and many will court your favor
The phrase "court your favor" (חָלָה, chalah) implies seeking someone's goodwill or approval. In the ancient world, having others seek your favor was a sign of respect and honor. It suggests a reversal of Job's fortunes, where he moves from being despised and rejected to being sought after and esteemed. This reflects the biblical principle that God can restore and elevate those who remain faithful through trials.

Verse 19. - Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; i.e. there shall be no more raids on the part of Sabeans (Job 1:15) or Chaldeans (Job 1:17) to affright and injure thee. Yea, many shall make suit unto thee. On the contrary, thy aid shall be invoked, thy interference on their behalf prayed for, by many.
