Exegesis
The verse employs a chain of waw-prefixed imperfects—vetasem {וְתָשֵׂם | wə-ṯāšēm} “and You set” followed by vetishmor {וְתִשְׁמֹר | wə-tišmōr} “and You keep watch”—to convey ongoing divine action.
In context — Job 13:27
You set my feet in the stocks and keep watch over all my paths; You mark the soles of my feet.
