Exegesis
The first clause employs verb-first order with nashammu {נָשַׁ֣מּוּ | nāšammû} ‘were appalled’ preceding acharonim {אַחֲרֹנִ֑ים | ʾaḥărōnîm} ‘later ones,’ a poetic inversion that emphasizes emotional impact before identifying the participants.
In context — Job 18:20
At his day , the later ones are appalled, and the former ones are seized with horror .
