לְ⁠שֵֽׁמַע־אֹ֥זֶן שְׁמַעְתִּ֑י⁠ךָ וְ֝⁠עַתָּ֗ה עֵינִ֥⁠י רָאָֽתְ⁠ךָ

by,hearing ear heard,you and=now eye,my seen,you

Job is using one part of himself, his ear, to mean all of him in the act of hearing. He is using one part of himself, his eye, to mean all of him in the act of seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Before this I had only heard about you, but now I have seen you for myself”
