Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ke'eleh {כְאֵ֣לֶּה | kəʾēlleh} ‘like these’ points anaphorically to the friends’ repeated speeches, and rabot {רַבּוֹת | rabbôt} ‘many’ intensifies the complaint by stressing frequency.
In context — Job 16:2
I have heard many such things; miserable comforters are all of you.
