Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּ֝פִ֗י אֲמַלֵּ֥א תוֹכָחֽוֹת

Job is speaking as if arguments were objects with which he could literally fill his mouth. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and I would make many arguments as I spoke”
