Exegesis
The clause begins with the substantival participle roekha {רֹאֶיךָ | rōʾēḵā} ‘those seeing you’ as the subject group, immediately oriented toward the addressee by elekha {אֵלֶיךָ | ʾēlēḵā} ‘to you’.
In context — Isaiah 14:16
Those who see you will fix their gaze on you; they will study you, saying, “Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms ?”
