who? he/it_gave in/on/at/with,sheol hide,me conceal,me until past wrath,your appoint to=me set_time and,remember,me
See how you translated the expression Who will give in 11:5–6. Alternate translation (as an exclamation): “I wish that you would conceal me in Sheol, that you would hide me until the turning of your nose, that you would set a limit for me and remember me!”

Job is speaking as if God’s anger might literally turn and go in a different direction. Job actually means that God would stop being angry. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “until you stop being angry with me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
תָּ֤שִׁ֥ית לִ֖י חֹ֣ק וְתִזְכְּרֵֽנִי
appoint to=me set_time and,remember,me
This could mean implicitly: (1) that God would set a limit on the time that Job had to spend in Sheol before God would remember him (see the explanation of the term “remember” in the next note). Alternate translation: “that you would decide how long I needed to spend in Sheol before you would remember me” (2) that God would choose a particular time sometime in the future when he would remember Job. Alternate translation: “that you would choose a particular time when you would remember me”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְתִזְכְּרֵֽנִי
and,remember,me
Job is using the expression remember in a particular sense. He is not suggesting that God would forget anything or that there are limits to God’s knowledge or memory. Rather, in contexts such as this, the word “remember” means to be aware that someone needs help and to help that person. (For example, Genesis 8:1 says that at the height of the Great Flood, “God remembered Noah and all the living things and all the livestock that were with him in the ark, and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.”) If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and help me”
14:13 Since the grave is a permanent abode (14:10-12, see 3:13-19; 7:6-10; 10:20-22), Job could not even fulfill his request from 13:20-21 by hiding temporarily in the grave.

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.
