Exegesis
The disjunctive divider ׀ then introduces a rapid series of wayyiqtol forms: vayefarpereni {וַֽיְפַרְפְּרֵ֗נִי | wayəparpərēnî} ‘and He tore me apart,’ veachaz {וְאָחַ֣ז | wəʾāḥaz} ‘and He seized,’ and bearpi {בְּ֭עָרְפִּי | bəʿārep̄î} ‘by my neck.’ These intensive Piel forms heighten the sense of violence.
In context — Job 16:12
I was at ease , but He tore me apart; He seized me by my neck and crushed me, and He set me up for Himself as a target .
