Exegesis
The first clause centers on tafer {תָּפֵ֣ר | tā-p̄ēr} ‘you annul’, a Piel form that portrays active undoing rather than mere neglect, taking yirah {יִרְאָ֑ה | yir-ʾāh} ‘fear’ as its object, so the charge is the dismantling of reverent posture.
Root and etymology
consonantsYod–Resh–Aleph
“fear, awe”
In context — Job 15:4
Even you annul fear , and you diminish meditation before God .
