Exegesis
The second clause bemo-phi etchanen-lo {בְּמוֹ־פִי אֶתְחַנֶּן־לוֹ | bə-mô-pî ʾeṯḥannēn-lô} adds an intensifying instrument phrase (“with my own mouth”) before the verb, emphasizing personal, face-to-face pleading rather than mediated command. The shift from “call” to “entreat” marks escalation from summons to supplication, reinforcing Job’s humiliation and social isolation within a single, tightly coordinated sentence.
In context — Job 19:16
I called to my servant , but he does not answer; with my own mouth I entreat him .
