At the end of time: קֵ֤ץ – qets

He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.

(Job 28:3) KJV

Mass sinks in time, into stratified layers of sediment: a solid core on fire in the darkness, sunk in the shadow of death.

(Job 28:3) MP Technical Paraphrase

An end: קֵ֤ץ – qets

This means end, limit, of space or time. Could we be talking about the end of all mass? Or are we talking about the end of time, as in, time stops?
