UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וְ֝⁠לַ⁠כֶּ֗תֶם אָמַ֥רְתִּי מִבְטַחִֽ⁠י

and,to_the,fine_gold called security,my

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “and I have told fine gold that it was my confidence”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

וְ֝⁠לַ⁠כֶּ֗תֶם אָמַ֥רְתִּי מִבְטַחִֽ⁠י

and,to_the,fine_gold called security,my

If Job had spoken to fine gold in this way, he would have been speaking to something that he knew could not hear him in order to show in a strong way how he felt about it. If a speaker in your language would not do that, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and I have said that fine gold was my confidence”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ֝⁠לַ⁠כֶּ֗תֶם אָמַ֥רְתִּי מִבְטַחִֽ⁠י

and,to_the,fine_gold called security,my

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of confidence, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and I have said that I was confiding in fine gold”
