An adjective describing a state of ease, security, or carefree comfort. Job 21:23 uses the term (likely a scribal error for שַׁאֲנָן, a more common form) to describe someone who dies 'wholly at ease'—comfortable, prosperous, without anxiety. The word can carry negative connotations when ease produces arrogance or complacency (as in Amos's critique of the complacent in Zion). The root conveys both physical security (freedom from danger) and psychological ease (freedom from worry). In wisdom literature, this ease becomes morally ambiguous—sometimes blessing, sometimes dangerous self-assurance that ignores coming judgment.
