Exegesis
A shift to singular with ish {אִ֤ישׁ | ’îš} ‘a man’ and the construct el-re'ehu {אֶל־רֵעֵ֙הוּ֙ | ’el-rê-’ê-hû} ‘toward his companion’ signals communal response, while yitmahu {יִתְמָ֔הוּ | yit-mā-hû} ‘will be appalled’ underscores astonishment.
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 .
