UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אַ֣ף כִּֽי

also/though that/for/because/then/when

Elihu is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “How much less will God answer your prayers, given that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

תֹ֭אמַר לֹ֣א תְשׁוּרֶ֑⁠נּוּ דִּ֥ין לְ֝⁠פָנָ֗י⁠ו וּ⁠תְח֥וֹלֵֽל לֽ⁠וֹ

say not see,him case before,face/front,him and,waiting to=him/it

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “you say, ‘I do not see him; the case is to his face, and I am waiting for him,’”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

דִּ֥ין לְ֝⁠פָנָ֗י⁠ו

case before,face/front,him

In this context, the phrase to his face means “in front of him.” This is likely a reference to the written documents that people in this culture prepared for legal proceedings, as a note to 31:35 discusses. Job would be saying that his testimony was “in front of” God, that is, he had submitted it for God to read. Alternate translation: “you have submitted your case to him”
