Zophar means implicitly that Job has said these things to God. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “For you have said to God, ‘My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in your eyes.’”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
וַ֭תֹּאמֶר זַ֣ךְ לִקְחִ֑י וּ֝בַ֗ר הָיִ֥יתִי בְעֵינֶֽיךָ
and=she/it_said pure teaching,my and,clean am in/on/at/with,sight,your
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “For you have told God that your doctrine is pure and that you are clean in his eyes”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
זַ֣ךְ לִקְחִ֑י וּ֝בַ֗ר הָיִ֥יתִי
pure teaching,my and,clean am
Zophar says that Job has spoken as if his doctrine were literally pure and his conduct was literally clean, that is, not physically dirty. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “My doctrine is correct, and I am righteous”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְעֵינֶֽיךָ
in/on/at/with,sight,your
Zophar is using the term eyes by association to mean sight. Sight, in turn, represents attention, perspective, and judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in your perspective”
11:4 My beliefs are pure: Job was not defining doctrine but defending his own integrity.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
