TSNTyndale Study Notes:

31:1-40 Job called down curses on himself if he were guilty of the accusations made against him. Except for his mention of idolatry (31:26-27), Job addressed his fidelity to God in terms of the second half of the Ten Commandments, summarized by the command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Lev 19:18; Rom 13:9).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

כִּ֣י

that/for/because/then/when

Job is using the word for to introduce the reason why he does not even need to specify a consequence in this case if he has committed the sins he has just described. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “but I do not even need to say what God should do to me if I have done those things, because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

מִ֭⁠נְּעוּרַ⁠י & וּ⁠מִ⁠בֶּ֖טֶן אִמִּ֣⁠י

from,youth,my & and,from,womb mother's,my

Job says from my youth and from the belly of my mother as overstatements for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “throughout my life … and continually”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

גְּדֵלַ֣⁠נִי & אַנְחֶֽ⁠נָּה

grew_up,I & guided,her

The pronoun he refers to the representative orphan whom Job described in the verse 17, and the pronoun her refers to the representative widow he described in verse 16. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the orphan has grown up with me … I have guided the widow”
