Commentators like John Gill explain that Zophar's promise of lying down in safety is comprehensive. It includes security not just in one's home but also over one's possessions (like flocks), with protection from both human threats (like the thieves who previously attacked Job) and natural dangers (like wild animals). This promised peace is a direct reversal of the calamities Job had just endured.
