Exegesis
The coordination ve-hinneh {וְהִנֵּה | wə-hin-nêh} ‘and behold’ acts as a narrative pivot introducing balahah {בְּלָהָה | bə-lā-hāh} ‘terror’, signaling abrupt calamity.
In context — Isaiah 17:14
At the time of evening, behold terror ; before morning, it is no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
