Exegesis
Teazav {תֵּעָזַב | tē-ʿā-zav}, a Niphal imperfect, takes aretz {אָרֶץ | ʾā-reṣ} ‘earth’ as its subject in a passive sense, and veyeetak {וְיֶעְתַּק | wə-yē-ʿə-taq}, a Qal imperfect, presents a parallel clause with tsur {צּוּר | ṣûr} ‘rock’ as its subject. These twin clauses form parallelism (earth abandoned // rock moved) to underscore the folly of expecting cosmic upheaval for personal turmoil.
In context — Job 18:4
You who tear your life in your anger, is it for your sake that the earth will be forsaken, and that the rock will move from its place?
