Exegesis
The verse is built as two parallel cola, each driven by a Hiphil verb that presents Job as the object of forced transfer: yasgireni {יַסְגִּירֵ֣נִי | yas-gî-rê-nî} ‘He gives me over’ in the first line and yirteni {יִרְטֵֽנִי | yir-ṭə-nî} ‘He hurls me’ in the second.
Root and etymology
consonantssamekh–gimel–resh

In context — Job 16:11
God gives me over to the wicked , and hurls me into the hands of wicked people.
