Exegesis
The first colon is framed by the prepositional phrase le-yom {לְיוֹם | lə-yôm} ‘for a day,’ expressing an appointed time rather than mere timing, followed by eyd {אֵיד | ʾêḏ} ‘disaster’ to name the threatening event.
After the main pause, the second colon repeats le-yom {לְיוֹם | lə-yôm} to create tight parallelism, now intensified by avarot {עֲבָרוֹת | ʿăvārôṯ} ‘wraths’ (plural), portraying accumulated or repeated surges of anger.
In context — Job 21:30
For the evil is spared for a day of disaster; they are led to a day of wrath .
