Exegesis
The prepositional phrase le-oyev lakh {לְאוֹיֵ֣ב לָֽךְ | lə-ʾō-yēv lāḵ} ‘as an enemy to You’ functions as a predicate complement that intensifies the relational rupture: Job experiences himself as classified in opposition to the One he addresses. English maintains the paired rhetorical questions, preserving the parallelism (hide // consider) that drives the accusation and its emotional force.
In context — Job 13:24
Why do You hide Your face, and consider me an enemy to You?
