Exegesis
The imperfect yahaloch {יַהֲלֹ֗ךְ | yăhălōḵ} ‘it goes’ is syntactically open regarding its subject (the “flash/gleam” or what it represents), but its pairing with ʿālāyw {עָלָ֥יו | ʿālāyw} ‘upon him’ portrays advancing, unavoidable impact.
In context — Job 20:25
He draws it out, and it comes out from his body; and a flash from his gall goes forth. Terrors are upon him.
