Exegesis
The second cola is linked by û- {וּ | û} and repeats the interrogation with umah-yirzemun {וּֽמַה־יִּרְזְמ֥וּן | û-māh-yirzəmûn}, shifting focus to the outward expression of one’s eyes, with the plural verb agreeing semantically with the dual noun eineikha {עֵינֶֽיךָ | ʿênêkā}. This chiastic pairing of “heart” and “eyes” creates poetic parallelism from inner impulse to outward signal, intensifying the rebuke.
In context — Job 15:12
What is it that your heart carries you away, and what is it that your eyes flash?
