Exegesis
The final noun eimim {אֵמִֽים׃ | ʾēmîm} ‘terrors’ is placed at the end for emphasis, functioning as the climactic result: the physical image culminates in psychological collapse.
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.
