Exegesis
The verse opens with af-al-zeh {אַף־עַל־זֶ֭ה | ʾap-ʿal-zeh} ‘even upon this’, a fronted prepositional phrase that heightens the rhetorical force by placing the object of scrutiny first.
In context — Job 14:3
Even upon this, You have opened Your eyes, and You bring me into judgment with You?
