Exegesis
venivhalu {וְֽנִבְהָ֓לוּ | vᵊ-nî-ḇhā-lû} ‘they will be dismayed’ functions as an introductory verb with the vav consecutive plus a Nifal perfect to indicate passive emotional impact.
In context — Isaiah 13:8
And they will be dismayed; birth-pangs and sorrows will seize them. Like a woman in childbirth, they will writhe; each man will be appalled at his companion, their faces like flames .
