Exegesis
The nominal phrase marei{מָרֵי | mārē} ‘bitter of soul’ + nefesh{נֶפֶשׁ | nepeš} ‘soul’ intensifies the threat.
In context — Judges 18:25
The sons of Dan said to him, “Do not let your voice be heard among us, or embittered souls may rush upon you, and you will lose your life and the life of your household.”
