יִ֭קְטְלֵנִי ל֣וֹ אֲיַחֵ֑ל
slay,me (Some words not found in UHB: if slay,me לא hope but ways,my to/towards his/its=faces/face defend )
Job is using the statement form to describe a conditional relationship, that is, to say what he would do if God did a specific thing. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “even if he kills me, I will still hope in him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
דְּ֝רָכַ֗י
ways,my
Job is speaking of how he has been living as if he had been walking along certain ways or paths. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my conduct”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶל־פָּנָ֥יו
to/towards his/its=faces/face
Here the word face represents the presence of a person by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. Alternate translation: “in his presence”
