Exegesis
The vav-consecutive piel verb viyvahelekha {וִיבַהֶלְךָ | wəyab-he-le-khā} ‘and terrifies you’ introduces the effect, with pachad {פַּחַד | pḥāḏ} ‘terror’ as subject and the adverb pitom {פִּתְאֹם | pitʾōm} ‘suddenly’ modifying the action. The English rendering preserves the cause-and-effect parallelism by mirroring the Hebrew sequence in two coordinated clauses.
Root and etymology
p-ch-d
“to dread”
In context — Job 22:10
Therefore snares are all around you, and sudden terror terrifies you.
