Exegesis
The Qal imperfect yidakh {יִדְעָךְ | yid‘āḵ} ‘is put out’ indicates repeated action, with the waw-consecutive ve-yavo {וְיָבֹא | wə-yā-ḇō} plus the preposition aleimo {עָלֵימוֹ | ‘ālê-hēmō} ‘upon them’ continuing the sequence.
In context — Job 21:17
How often is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, and does their calamity come upon them? He allots pains in His wrath.
