UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יַאֲזִ֥ין

listen_to

Job is using the expression giving ear to mean listening, by association with the way that people listen with their ears. However, this specific expression has the sense of listening carefully, that is, paying attention. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he was paying attention to”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

קוֹלִֽ⁠י

my=sound/voice

Job is using one part of himself, his voice, to mean all of him in the act of speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what I was saying”
