הֵ֤ן יַעְצֹ֣ר בַּמַּ֣יִם וְיִבָ֑שׁוּ וִֽ֝ישַׁלְּחֵ֗ם וְיַ֖הַפְכוּ אָֽרֶץ
if withholds in/on/at/with,waters and,dry_up and,sends_~_out,them and,overwhelm land
In both of these instances, Job is using the word and to introduce what happens under the condition he is describing. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “if he withholds the waters, then they dry up; if he sends them out, then they overthrow the land”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְיַ֖הַפְכוּ אָֽרֶץ
and,overwhelm land
Job is speaking as if the waters would literally overthrow the land or turn it upside down. He means that the waters would completely cover the land so that there would be no land any more. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and they completely flood the land”
OET (OET-LV) There he_holds_back in/on/at/with_waters and_dry_up and_sends_out_them and_overwhelm [the]_earth.
OET (OET-RV) When he holds back the waters they dry up,
⇔ and when he sends them out they overwhelm the earth.
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.
