Exegesis
The verse opens with the fronted verb yevaatuhu {יְֽ֭בַעֲתֻהוּ | yəvaʿătúhû} ‘they terrify him’, a poetic personification in which the following pair tsar {צַ֣ר | ṣar} ‘distress’ and umetsuqah {וּמְצוּקָ֑ה | ûməṣûqâ} ‘anguish’ functions as the agent of fear.
In context — Job 15:24
Distress and anguish terrify him; it overpowers him like a king ready for attack .
