Exegesis
The second clause employs the Niphal imperfect yimmal {יִמַּל} ‘is cut off’ with the object qetsîrô {קְצִירוֹ} ‘his harvest,’ shifting to a more abrupt termination of upper growth. The parallel structure underscores total ruin from root to shoot.
In context — Job 18:16
From beneath, his roots dry up, and from above, his branch is cut off.
