Exegesis
wəʾegwaʿ {אַחֲרִישׁ וְאֶגְוָע | ʾaḥărîš wəʾegwaʿ} ‘I will be silent … and I will expire’ is linked by simple coordination, creating a grim, compressed progression from silence to death. English keeps the two-part movement (challenge question → consequence) while allowing the implicit conditional sense to surface in smooth idiom.
Root and etymology

“to expire”

Who is he who will contend with me? For now, I will be silent and I will expire.
