Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
כֻּלְּכֶֽם
all,you_all
As the context suggests, the word you is plural here because Job is using it to refer to his three friends. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
מְנַחֲמֵ֖י עָמָ֣ל
comforters miserable
Job is not using this possessive form to say that his friends are providing comfort to trouble. He is using the form to say that in their attempts to be his comforters, they are causing him further trouble. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “troublesome counselors”
