TO SETTLE, to come to rest — and, from the same letters, TO STIR UP: a root that runs both ways. ⭐ Deuteronomy 28:65 has the causative in the negative, among those nations you will find no ease; Jeremiah 31:1 (already on these pages; 31:2 in English numbering) has God going to give him rest with the same form; Isaiah 34:14 (not yet on these pages) gives it to Lilith, who finds rest in Edom’s ruins. The noun margoa is Jeremiah 6:16’s rest for your souls (not yet on these pages), the phrase behind Matthew 11:29 (already on these pages). ⚠ The opposite sense is real and not a different word: Jeremiah 31:34 (already on these pages; 31:35 in English numbering) has Jehovah who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar, the same three consonants. The KJV reads ‘shalt thou find no ease’, the NIV ‘no repose’, the NWT 1984 ‘no ease’; the RV 1909 and RV60 «descansarás», the TNM 1987 «desahogo». → first discussed at Deut 28:65
