People tagged in the matching LV passage: God
OET (OET-RV) You turn people from the fear of God,
⇔ ≈ and discourage them from godly meditation.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
אַ֭תָּה תָּפֵ֣ר יִרְאָ֑ה
(Some words not found in UHB: also/though you(ms) doing_away fear and,you_diminish meditation to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before god )
For emphasis, Eliphaz is stating the pronoun you, whose meaning is already present in the word translated destroy. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. Alternate translation: [you are completely destroying fear]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יִרְאָ֑ה
fear
By fear, Eliphaz implicitly means the fear of God, that is, reverent respect for God. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the fear of God] or [reverent respect for God]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
שִׂ֝יחָ֗ה לִפְנֵי־אֵֽל
(Some words not found in UHB: also/though you(ms) doing_away fear and,you_diminish meditation to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before god )
Here the word face represents the presence of a person by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. Eliphaz is using the term to describe devotion that someone would offer to God as one person to another. Alternate translation: [personal devotion to God]
OET (OET-RV) You turn people from the fear of God,
⇔ ≈ and discourage them from godly meditation.
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.
