Exegesis
The predicate is built in two parallel steps: first, the verbal clause lezar tachshevuni {לְזָ֣ר תַּחְשְׁבֻ֑נִי | lə-zār taḥšəvûnî} ‘as a stranger you consider me’, then a reinforcing verbless-style identification followed by a finite verb, nachri hayiti {נָ֝כְרִ֗י הָיִ֥יתִי | nāḵrî hāyîṯî} ‘a foreigner I have become’.

consonantsnun–kaf–resh

In context — Job 19:15
The sojourners of my house and my female servants consider me as a stranger; I have become a foreigner in their eyes.
