Exegesis
Two causative perfect verbs in sequence—helani {הֶלְאָ֑נִי | helʾānî} ‘you have wearied me’ and hashimota {הֲשִׁמּוֹתָ | haššimmôtā} ‘you have made desolate’—form a parallel progression from personal exhaustion to communal ruin. In context the addressee is God, although no divine name appears.
Root and etymology
sh-m-mshin–mem–mem
“to make desolate”
In context — Job 16:7
Surely, now, You have wearied me; You have made desolate all my company.
