uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ֭⁠תַּחַת שָֽׁרָשָׁ֣י⁠ו יִבָ֑שׁוּ וּ֝⁠מִ⁠מַּ֗עַל יִמַּ֥ל קְצִירֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: from=under roots_of,his dry_up and,(from),above wither branch[es]_of,his )

Bildad is speaking as if the wicked person were literally a tree that dies from lack of moisture. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [He fails in every aspect of life and finally he dies]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

יִמַּ֥ל קְצִירֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: from=under roots_of,his dry_up and,(from),above wither branch[es]_of,his )

Bildad is not referring to a specific branch. He means every branch on the tree that he is using to symbolize the wicked person. If you retain the image in your translation, it may be more natural in your language to use a plural form. Alternate translation: [his branches wither]

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
