2 Kings 19:28 וְשַׁאֲנַנְךָ֖ and arrogance your

Because your rage and arrogance against Me have reached My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bit in your mouth; I will send you back the way you came.’

Here: 'And your ease': the untroubled self-assurance of someone who believes nothing can touch him. Normally an adjective, here it is used as a noun with 'your'. The odd form has prompted the proposed reading 'your uproar' (see textual notes).

Job 12:5 שַׁאֲנָ֑ן [one] at ease

The one at ease scorns misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.

Psalm 123:4 הַשַּׁאֲנַנִּ֑ים <the> self-confident [people]

We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.

Here: People who are safe, comfortable and untroubled, and who can therefore afford to sneer. The word describes their situation as much as their attitude, and it implies a gap in security between mocker and mocked.

Isaiah 32:9 שַֽׁאֲנַנּ֔וֹת carefree

Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me. Give ear to my word, you overconfident daughters.

Here: "Living undisturbed." Here it has the bad sense of being untroubled when you should be troubled. The word comes back in verse 18 in a good sense, for the undisturbed rest God will give later.

Isaiah 32:11 שַֽׁאֲנַנּ֔וֹת O carefree [women]

Shudder, you ladies of leisure; tremble, you daughters of complacency. Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists.

Here: Feminine plural, used as a form of address: 'you women at ease'. It describes a quiet, untroubled life. Here it is the false calm of people who take their comfort for granted.

Isaiah 32:18 שַׁאֲנַנּֽוֹת׃ undisturbed

Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure places of rest.

Here: "At ease," describing the resting places. It means free from any threat or disturbance. It is the exact word used twice of the complacent women in vv. 9 and 11. Their false ease becomes, after judgment, true ease.

Isaiah 33:20 שַׁאֲנָ֗ן undisturbed

Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander; its tent pegs will not be pulled up, nor will any of its cords be broken.

Here: Free from worry and threat. Elsewhere the word often describes false, complacent ease (Isa 32:9; Amos 6:1); here the security is real because God gives it.

Isaiah 37:29 וְשַׁאֲנַנְךָ֖ and arrogance your

Because your rage and arrogance against Me have reached My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bit in your mouth; I will send you back the way you came.’

Here: 'And your easy self-assurance.' The word normally describes someone settled and untroubled. Used of the powerful, it means a careless arrogance that assumes nothing can touch them. Some read it instead as 'your uproar' (see variants).

Amos 6:1 הַשַּׁאֲנַנִּ֣ים the [people] at ease

Woe to those at ease in Zion and those secure on Mount Samaria, the distinguished ones of the foremost nation, to whom the house of Israel comes.

Here: 'The carefree ones'. Here it means people so comfortable they feel nothing can touch them, a security that has turned into complacency and indifference.

Zechariah 1:15 הַשַּֽׁאֲנַנִּ֑ים <the> at ease

but I am fiercely angry with the nations that are at ease. For I was a little angry, but they have added to the calamity.’

Here: 'At ease, undisturbed,' often with a tone of smug, careless security. It echoes the patrol's report in v.11 that 'the whole earth sits quiet and at rest' while Jerusalem lies in ruins.
