Near the end of the play, God will quell this fear by relating how he defeated Leviathan in battle at the beginning of the world. The story of Job is a retelling of the creation myth, and as such it is also a healing ritual. Done at full pitch, cast and audience together will fall out of normal time into the myth. Now the four messengers blow their conches, echoing each other eerily. Then just as the audience's eyes have time to spot them, all the house lights go dark.
Complete darkness is what is wanted if that is possible.
Job's voice rises above the fading conch echoes as the messengers go out. Stir the depths against that night. And houses filled with silver. And slave is free from master. 24 Sighs are my food And groans my drink.
