UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

נְגִינָתָ֣⁠ם

mock_~_insong,their

Job means implicitly that these young men are singing about him disrespectfully. Your language may have a term that you could use to indicate that in your translation. Alternate translation: “the subject of their taunt-song”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וָ⁠אֱהִ֖י לָ⁠הֶ֣ם לְ⁠מִלָּֽה

and,become to/for=them as,byword

The meaning of the term word here is the same as the meaning of the term “saying” in 17:6. Job means that these young men are citing him by name as an outstanding example of someone who seemed to be prospering because he was righteous but who came to ruin because he was actually wicked. Your language may have an expression for this practice of citing people by name as examples, and you may be able to use that expression in your translation. See how you translated the term “saying” in 17:6.
