31:1-40 Job called down curses on himself if he were guilty of the accusations made against him.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
תִּטְחַ֣ן לְאַחֵ֣ר אִשְׁתִּ֑י
grind for,another wife,my
Job is using the term grind, meaning to grind grain, by association to mean “be a concubine,” since concubines did the work of grinding grain for their masters, who were also their husbands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See the General Notes to this chapter for a further discussion of this verse. Alternate translation: “may my wife become the concubine of another man”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
וְ֝עָלֶ֗יהָ יִכְרְע֥וּן אֲחֵרִֽין
and,over,her kneel, other
Job is using the phrase bow down upon to mean “have sexual relations with.” This is mild way of referring to something that is usually done in private. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “and may others sleep with her”
