Exegesis
The clause opens with lōʾ-yaʾămîn {לֹא־יַאֲמִ֣ין | lōʾ-yaʾămîn} ‘he does not believe,’ where negation plus an imperfect verb frames an ongoing conviction of hopelessness rather than a single moment of doubt.
In context — Job 15:22
He does not believe he will return from darkness, and he is awaited for the sword.
