OET interlinear JOB 17:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לְ֭⁠חֵלֶק יַגִּ֣יד רֵעִ֑ים וְ⁠עֵינֵ֖י בָנָ֣י⁠ו תִּכְלֶֽנָה

for,reward denounces friends and,eyes children,his fail

Job is using one thing that God does to maintain justice, punish those who commit perjury for a bribe, to represent all that God does to maintain justice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “After all, you maintain justice by punishing people who corrupt court proceedings”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

וְ⁠עֵינֵ֖י בָנָ֣י⁠ו תִּכְלֶֽנָה

and,eyes children,his fail

Job is speaking of how the eyes of people who are dying fail (no longer see) in order to describe those people dying. This is a poetic way of speaking about death. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “his sons will certainly die”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בָנָ֣י⁠ו

children,his

Here the masculine term sons has a generic sense that includes both sons and daughters. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “his children”
