Exegesis
Saleuthēsontai {σαλευθήσονται | saleuthḗsontai} is future passive, presenting the heavenly powers as receiving the shaking rather than simply acting. The verse thus moves from human collapse to cosmic upheaval in an apocalyptic escalation that intensifies the warning.
In context — Luke 21:26
People will collapse from fear and expectation of what is coming upon the inhabited world , for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
