Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi se {ἐπὶ σὲ | e-pí se} ‘upon you’ marks the addressee as the location where these “days” will fall.
The repeated direct object se {σὲ | se} ‘you’ after perikyklosousin and synexousin keeps the focus tightly on the besieged party, and the adverb pantothen {πάντοθεν | pán-to-then} ‘from every side’ closes the clause with a comprehensive picture of encirclement. In translation, the paratactic sequence of futures is preserved as a chained series of actions (“set up… surround… hem…”) to retain the sense of escalating, total siege.
