Exegesis
In the first simile, the noun phrase katzir qamah {קָצִיר קָמָה | qā-ṣîr qā-māh} ‘standing harvest’ leads into the verb yiktzor {יִקְצֹר | yiq-ṣōr} ‘he reaps’, with the construct chain uzro’o shibbolim {וּזְרֹעוֹ שִׁבֹּלִים | wə-zə-rō-’ō šib-bō-lîm} ‘with his arm ears of grain’ specifying instrument and object. The second clause mirrors this pattern, substituting the participle kimlaket for the infinitive.
Root and etymology

In context — Isaiah 17:5
And it will be as when a harvester gathers the standing grain , and with his arm he reaps the ears of grain. And it will be as one who picks up ears of grain in the Valley of Rephaim .
