Exegesis
The prepositional phrase be-milim {בְמִלִּֽים | bə-millîm} ‘with words’ functions instrumentally, identifying speech as the means of violence; the line’s poetic parallelism thus moves from internal anguish to crushing pressure, with “words” as the weapon.
Root and etymology
mem-lamed-lamedmem–lamed–lamed
“to speak, utter”
In context — Job 19:2
How long will you torment my soul and crush me with words?
