UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַ⁠חֹ֣מֶר עֲשִׂיתָ֑⁠נִי

like_the,clay made,me

The point of this comparison is that God molded Job’s body as one molds clay to make things. Job is not saying that God made him to be like clay. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “you molded my body as one molds clay”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וְֽ⁠אֶל־עָפָ֥ר תְּשִׁיבֵֽ⁠נִי

and=near/to dust turn,me

Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “so please do not turn me into dust again!”
