OET (OET-LV)Maxims_your_all’s [are]_proverbs of_ash[es] as_defenses of_clay defenses_your_all’s.

OET (OET-RV)Your traditional sayings are proverbs of ashes.
 ⇔ Your defenses might as well be made of clay.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

זִֽ֭כְרֹנֵי⁠כֶם מִשְׁלֵי־אֵ֑פֶר

maxims,your_all's proverbs ashes

Job is speaking as if the maxims that his friends have been quoting were literally made of ashes. Since, in this culture, garbage was burned into ashes, Job likely means that these maxims are worthless, at least as applied to his situation. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The memorable proverbs you have been quoting are worthless to me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠גַבֵּי־חֹ֝֗מֶר גַּבֵּי⁠כֶֽם

as,defenses clay defenses,your_all's

Job is speaking as if his friends’ defenses of God were literally made of clay. He likely means that, like clay, they are fragile and would shatter if struck. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “your defenses would crumble if anyone challenged you”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

13:12 Ashes are worthless (cp. Isa 44:20).
