Exegesis
Two parallel Hiphil cohortatives then escalate the hypothetical attack: achbirah {אַחְבִּירָה | ʾaḥbîrāh} ‘I could heap up’ takes bemillim {בְּמִלִּים | bəmillîm} ‘with words,’ and veaniah {וְאָנִיעָה | wəʾānîʿāh} ‘and I would shake’ pairs with bemo roshi {בְּמ֣וֹ רֹאשִׁי | bəmô rōʾšî} as a gesture of contempt.
In context — Job 16:4
I also could speak like you, if your life were in the place of my life; I could heap up words against you, and shake my head at you.
