תְּחַדֵּ֬שׁ עֵדֶ֨יךָ ׀ נֶגְדִּ֗י
renew witnesses,your against,me
In this verse, Job continues to describe what he believes God would do if he were to “lift” his “head” (that is, if he were to act as if he had nothing to be ashamed of), as he said in 10:15. Job could be using the word witnesses here to mean: (1) accusations that God would make against Job, as if God were literally a witness testifying against Job in a trial. Alternate translation: “You would accuse me of doing further wrong things” (2) sufferings that God would cause Job to experience, since people in this culture believed that sufferings were evidence that God was punishing someone for doing wrong. Alternate translation: “You would cause me to suffer even more”

חֲלִיפ֖וֹת וְצָבָ֣א עִמִּֽי
wave_after_wave and,forces against,me
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. Job is using the word changes to indicate that he feels that God is sending one army after another against him. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: “you keep sending new armies against me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
חֲלִיפ֖וֹת וְצָבָ֣א עִמִּֽי
wave_after_wave and,forces against,me
Job is speaking as if God is literally sending one army after another against him. He means that he feels that God keeps attacking him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you keep attacking me”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
