Job 41:22

41:22 Strength lodges in its neck,

and despair runs before it.


tn This word, דְּאָבָה (dÿavah) is a hapax legomenon. But the verbal root means “to languish; to pine.” A related noun talks of dejection and despair in Deut 28:65. So here “despair” as a translation is preferable to “terror.”
