Exegesis
The coordinate negative existential ve’ein {וְאֵן | wə-ʾên} ‘and there is not’ governs kets {קֵץ | qēṣ} ‘end,’ which in construct with la’avonotecha {לַעֲוֹנוֹתֶיךָ | la‛ăwōnṯêkā} ‘to your iniquities’ conveys boundlessness. This pair of clauses heightens the charge through semantic parallelism and underscores the infinite scope of guilt.
In context — Job 22:5
Is not your wickedness great, and is there no end to your iniquities ?
