Exegesis
The paired verbs yiddakhu {יִדַּחוּ | yiḏ-da-ḥû} and venaflu {וְנָפְלוּ | wə-naf-lû} form a Nifal–Qal sequence that highlights forced motion followed by collapse.
In context — Jeremiah 23:12
Therefore their way will be to them like a slick path in the darkness; they will be driven on and will fall there, for I will bring calamity upon them—the year of their visitation , declares the LORD .
