Exegesis
The verb talan {תָּלַן | tā-lan} ‘lodges’ (third person feminine singular) takes eini {עֵינִי | ʿê-nî} ‘my eye’ as its subject; the feminine agreement reflects the gender of “eye” and depicts Job’s gaze as “spending the night” amid their provocation. This yields an image of relentless, overnight mental fixation: their antagonism becomes the environment in which his perception resides. English rendering preserves the tight parallelism (presence of mockers // eye lodging in provocation) and conveys the rhetorical force of the opening oath-like construction.
In context — Job 17:2
Are there not mockers with me, and does not my eye lodge in their provocations , ?
