Exegesis
The first colon places banav {בָּנָיו | bānāyw} as subject and the Piel imperfect yerattsu {יְרַצּוּ | yərattsû} as a future-oriented action of placating, with dallim {דַלִּים | dallîm} as the object; the irony is that the powerful household now must court the favor of “the poor.”
In context — Job 20:10
His sons will seek to appease the poor, and his hands will restore his wealth.
