Exegesis
The shift to the Qal imperfect yehersekha {יֶהֶרְסֶֽךָ | yĕ-her-sĕ-ḵā} ‘he will pull you down’ introduces a passive sense in context, creating a structural chiasm that highlights thorough displacement. The parallel verbs and prepositional structures underscore the completeness of the judgment typical of prophetic rhetoric.
In context — Isaiah 22:19
And I will thrust you away from your station , and you will be pulled down from your standing .
