breathing out, expiring; the final breath of life
This noun occurs only in Job 11:20, where Zophar warns the wicked that 'the expiring of life will be their hope'—meaning death is all they can look forward to. The word literally denotes the breathing out or exhaling of the life-breath, the moment when breath departs and life ends. In ancient physiology, breath was synonymous with life itself, so its final exhalation marked the transition to death.

1. sense 1 — Spanish 'será-el-último-suspiro-del' (will be the last sigh of) beautifully captures the dying breath imagery. The phrase 'breathing out of life' describes expiration in both senses—breathing out and dying. Zophar uses this to depict the hopelessness awaiting the wicked (Job 11:20). 1×
