Exegesis
The sequence of verbs yivash {יִיבַשׁ | yîy-ḇaš} ‘it shall dry up’, niddaf {נִדַּף | nid-dāf} ‘it is driven away’, and ve-einennu {וְאֵינֶנּוּ | wə-ʾê-nɛn-nû} ‘and it is no more’ forms a climactic tricolon that underscores progressive devastation. The translation mirrors the Hebrew vav-consecutive series with future English verbs to convey certainty and completeness.
