Exegesis
The subsequent vayefatspetseni {וַֽיְפַצְפְּצֵ֑נִי | wayəpaṣpəṣēnî} ‘and He crushed me’ continues the vivid chain, culminating in vayekimeni lo lemattarah {וַיְקִימֵ֥נִי ל֝֗וֹ לְמַטָּרָֽה | wayəqîmēnî lô ləmaṭṭārâ} ‘and He set me up for him as a target,’ which combines a causative Hiphil with a purpose‐like complement. The coordinated verbs preserve Hebrew momentum and foreground the deliberate exposure conveyed by lemattarah.
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 .
