OET interlinear JOB 15:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מַה־יִּקָּחֲ⁠ךָ֥ לִבֶּ֑⁠ךָ וּֽ⁠מַה־יִּרְזְמ֥וּ⁠ן עֵינֶֽי⁠ךָ

what? (Some words not found in UHB: what? does,it_carry_you_away heart_of,your and,why? do,they_flash eyes_of,your )

Eliphaz is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. (This is the beginning of a sentence that Eliphaz completes in the next verse.) Alternate translation: [Your heart should not carry you away and your eyes should not flash]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

מַה־יִּקָּחֲ⁠ךָ֥ לִבֶּ֑⁠ךָ

what? (Some words not found in UHB: what? does,it_carry_you_away heart_of,your and,why? do,they_flash eyes_of,your )

Eliphaz is speaking of Job’s heart as if it were a living thing that could carry him away. He is using Job’s heart to represent his emotions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Why are you allowing yourself to become so emotional] or, as a statement, [You should not allow yourself to become so emotional]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּֽ⁠מַה־יִּרְזְמ֥וּ⁠ן עֵינֶֽי⁠ךָ

and,why? (Some words not found in UHB: what? does,it_carry_you_away heart_of,your and,why? do,they_flash eyes_of,your )

Eliphaz is speaking of anger by association with the way that the eyes of a person who is angry will appear to flash or give off light. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and why are you so angry] or as a statement, [and you should not be so angry]
