Exegesis
The reflexive experiences na‛ăwîṯî {נַעֲוֵ֣יתִי | na‛ăwîṯî} ‘I was bent’ and nivhallîtî {נִבְהַלְתִּי | nivhallîtî} ‘I was terrified’ each govern infinitive constructs mishmōaʿ {מִשְּׁמֹעַ | mišmōaʿ} ‘from hearing’ and mere’ōṯ {מֵרְאֽוֹת | mere’ōṯ} ‘from seeing’, forming a paratactic sequence that intensifies the prophet’s physical and emotional collapse.

In context — Isaiah 21:3
Therefore my loins are filled with anguish; pangs have seized me like the pangs of a woman in labor. I was bent over so that I could scarcely hear , and I was dismayed so that I could scarcely see .
