Exegesis
The compound noun phrase bekhol-tushiyyah {בְּכָל־תּ֝וּשִׁיָּ֗ה | bə-ḵōl-tûššîyyāh} serves as an adversative complement ‘against all sound wisdom,’ and the Hitpael verb yitgalla {יִתְגַּלָּֽע | yiṯ-gallāʿ} marks an intensive, resultive action ‘breaks out.’ In English, rendering the participle as a finite clause ‘isolates himself’ preserves agency, and positioning the adverbial phrase early maintains the Hebrew emphasis on motive.
