Exegesis
The cohortative-form aqumah {אָקוּמָה | ʾāqûmāh} introduces a temporal setting (“whenever I rise” or “when I get up”), and the following wayyiqtol vayedabru-vi {וַיְדַבְּרוּ־בִי | wayədabbərû-bî} marks the consequent action that follows his movement: verbal assault.
In context — Job 19:18
Even young boys have despised me; when I rise, they speak against me .
