⇔ I’ll go on a path that I won’t return from.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
שְׁנ֣וֹת מִסְפָּ֣ר יֶאֱתָ֑יוּ
years a_few come
Job is using the expression years of number to mean “a few years.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a few years will go by”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
וְאֹ֖רַח לֹא־אָשׁ֣וּב אֶהֱלֹֽךְ
and,way not return go
When Job says that he will go on a path and not return, he means that he will die. This is a mild way of referring to death. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “and I will pass away” or “and then I will die”
16:18-22 Job expected his suffering to prove fatal (7:7, 21; 10:20-22); he pleaded with God to reveal his innocence even if he died first.

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.
