Exegesis
The second person plural in tachshevuni {תַּחְשְׁבֻ֑נִי | taḥšəvûnî} functions as a direct address to the household group(s), while the concluding idiom be’eineihem {בְעֵינֵיהֶֽם | bə-ʿênêhem} ‘in their eyes’ specifies that this estrangement is expressed as a settled evaluation. Rendering the two descriptors “stranger” and “foreigner” in English preserves the tightening parallelism and the intensification from social distance to complete exclusion.
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.
