Exegesis
The verse opens with a tight construct chain, musar {מוּסַ֣ר | mû-sār} ‘discipline, rebuke’ + kelimati {כְּלִמָּתִ֣י | kəlimmāṯî} ‘my disgrace’, placing the shaming character of the rebuke in the foreground before the verb appears.
Root and etymology
y-s-ryod–samekh–resh
“to discipline”
In context — Job 20:3
I hear instruction of my reproach, and the spirit from my understanding answers me.
