Exegesis
The next clause shifts to a singular verb form titqefehu {תִּ֝תְקְפֵ֗הוּ | titqəfēhû} ‘it will overpower him’, treating the combined troubles as a single overwhelming force (or agreeing with the nearer feminine noun), which intensifies the sense of inevitability.
In context — Job 15:24
Distress and anguish terrify him; it overpowers him like a king ready for attack .
