Exegesis
The phrase rasha {רָשָׁע | rāšāʿ} functions substantively (“a wicked man”), and the independent pronoun hu {הוּא | hûʾ} adds emphasis (“he himself”), heightening the portrayal of the wicked person’s condition.
In context — Job 15:20
All the days of a wicked man, he writhes , and the number of years is hidden for the oppressor .
