Exegesis
After the atnach break, yezoreh {יְזֹרֶה | yəzōreh} ‘it will scatter’ introduces the second clause; the masculine verb with the following gofrit {גָפְרִית | gā-p̄rît} ‘brimstone’ can be read as an impersonal/passive-like statement in English (“will be scattered”).
In context — Job 18:15
It will dwell in his tent, because it is not his; brimstone will be scattered upon his dwelling place.
