Exegesis
The sequence perets {פֶ֭רֶץ | pereṣ} followed by the prepositional chain al-penei-farets {עַל־פְּנֵי־פָ֑רֶץ | ʿal-pənê-p̄āreṣ} ‘upon the face of a breach’ forms an idiom of accumulation (“breach upon breach”), where repetition functions rhetorically to depict successive, compounding blows rather than a single event.
Root and etymology

“to break through, burst”
In context — Job 16:14
He breaks through me with breach upon breach; He runs upon me like a mighty man .
