Exegesis
The verse consists of two parallel clauses introduced by yirʾu {יִרְאוּ | yirʾû} ‘let them see’ and yištēh {יִשְׁתֶּה | yištēh} ‘let him drink,’ creating a poetic parallelism of sight and experience.
In context — Job 21:20
Let his own eyes see his calamity , and let him drink from the wrath of the Almighty .
