Exegesis
The verse opens with the interrogative ve'ekh {וְאֵיךְ | wəʾêykh} ‘and how’, posing a direct challenge, followed by the Piel imperfect tenachamuni {תְּנַחֲמוּנִי | tənaḥāmûnî} ‘you comfort me’, which directly addresses Job’s friends.
In context — Job 21:34
And how can you comfort me with emptiness ? And your answers remain only deceit .
