Exegesis
The conjunction u {וּ | û} parallels this in the second clause, where u-pach-do {וּפַחְדּוֹ | û-pach-dô} ‘and his dread’ serves as subject alongside the Qal imperfect yi-ppol {יִפֹּל | yi-ppōl} ‘fall’ with the prepositional suffix a-lei-khem {עֲלֵיכֶם | ʿa-lê-khem} ‘upon you.’ The idiom of ‘falling’ underscores the inevitability of divine terror.
In context — Job 13:11
Would not His majesty terrify you, and His dread fall upon you?
