Exegesis

The Qal imperfect yippol {יִפּ֥וֹל | yi-ppōl} ‘will fall’ is followed by the prepositional phrase be'eḥat {בְּאֶחָֽת | bə-’e-ḥāt} ‘at once,’ indicating suddenness. English renderings use present-tense verbs and participles to mirror Hebrew aspect, retain the adversative structure, and convey immediacy and moral contrast.
