Exegesis
The second colon is joined by vav and shifts to a causative verb, vetashlikhehu {וְֽתַשְׁלִיכֵ֥הוּ | wə-tašlîḵēhû} ‘and will cast him down,’ which takes atzato {עֲצָתֽוֹ | ʿăṣātô} ‘his counsel’ as the feminine singular subject; the verb’s feminine agreement highlights that his own counsel is the agent of his fall. The parallelism intensifies the irony: what should secure him (strength and counsel) becomes the mechanism of restraint and collapse.
In context — Job 18:7
The steps of his strength will be straitened, and his own counsel will cast him down.
