Exegesis
The verse is driven by a tight sequence of wayyiqtol verbs, vayyakhar {וַיַּ֣חַר | way-yaḥar} ‘and it burned’ followed by vayakhshveni {וַיַּחְשְׁבֵ֖נִי | way-yaḥ-šə-ḇê-nî} ‘and He considered me,’ moving from emotion to evaluation.
In context — Job 19:11
His anger burned against me, and He regarded me as one of His adversaries.
