Exegesis
Next, kesūpāh {כְּסוּפָ֣ה | kə-sū-pāh} ‘like a whirlwind’ heightens the image before the imperfect verb yeʼetēh {יֶאֱתֶ֑ה | yə-ʾe-tēh} ‘it will come,’ shifting from the infinitive construct to a personal verb form.
In context — Proverbs 1:27
When your terror comes like a storm, and your disaster comes like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble come upon you.
