Exegesis
The concluding existential clause ve-ein nachat uses the negation ein {אֵין | ʾên} ‘there is not’ with the noun nachat {נָחַת | nā-ḥat} ‘rest’ to underscore the absence of resolution. This coordinated structure links legal dispute to emotional futility and highlights the impossibility of reconciliation.
Root and etymology
n-ḥ-tnun–chet–tav

In context — Proverbs 29:9
If a wise man enters into judgment with a foolish man, whether he rages or laughs, there is no rest .
