OET (OET-LV) Memory_him it_perishes from [the]_earth and_not a_name to_him/it on [the]_surface of_[the]_street.
OET (OET-RV) No one on the earth will remember them any more,
⇔ ≈and no streets will be named after them.[fn]
18:17 That was a paraphrase (and probably an anachronism) that we couldn’t resist (and will probably delete again). It’s really something more like ‘no one will mention their names on the streets’.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
זִֽכְרוֹ
memory,him
Bildad is using this possessive form to mean other people’s memory of the wicked person, not the wicked person’s memory of things. Alternate translation: “The memory of him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִנִּי־אָ֑רֶץ
from earth
Bildad is using the term earth by association to mean the people who live on the earth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from among the people who live on the earth”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
שֵׁ֥ם
name_of
Here, name represents a person’s fame and reputation. Alternate translation: “reputation”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
עַל־פְּנֵי־חֽוּץ
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of street
Bildad is speaking as if the surface of the land or ground were literally its face. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “upon the surface of the land”
18:17 Being forgotten by those who come later is a familiar curse against the wicked (see 18:19; Pss 34:16; 109:13; Prov 10:7).

OET (OET-RV) No one on the earth will remember them any more,

18:17 That was a paraphrase (and probably an anachronism) that we couldn’t resist (and will probably delete again). It’s really something more like ‘no one will mention their names on the streets’.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
