UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

עַ֣יִן שְׁ֭זָפַתּ⁠וּ וְ⁠לֹ֣א תוֹסִ֑יף

eye saw,him and=not again

Zophar is using one part of a person, his eye, to mean all of that person in the act of seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Anyone who previously saw him will not continue to see him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠לֹא־ע֝֗וֹד תְּשׁוּרֶ֥⁠נּוּ מְקוֹמֽ⁠וֹ

and=not again/more behold,him place,his

As Job did in 7:10, Zophar is speaking here of a person’s place of residence as if it were a living thing that could observe that person. The idea is that the place where the person once lived will not have occasion to observe him again because he will never return to that place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he will no longer live in his former place of residence”
