Exegesis

The verb vayyakam {וַיָּקָם | way-yā-qām} ‘and it rose up’, combined with the locative bî {בִּי | bî} ‘in me’ yields an adversative nuance (‘rises up against me’).

In contextJob 16:8

And You have shriveled me up, and it has become a witness; my leanness rises up against me and answers before my face.
