Exegesis
The opening perfect verb paaru {פָּעֲר֬וּ | pāʿărû} ‘they have gaped’ is immediately focused by alai {עָלַ֨י | ʿālay} ‘against me,’ and the prepositional phrase befihhem {בְּפִיהֶ֗ם | bə-pî-hem} ‘in their mouth’ paints a vivid image of public derision.
In context — Job 16:10
They have gaped at me with their mouths; with reproach they have struck my cheeks; together against me they assemble .
