In context, Job is suggesting that this is actually unlikely, even though he wishes that it could happen. You could indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “It is unfortunate that my words cannot be written down. It is unfortunate that they cannot be inscribed on a scroll”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְיִכָּתְב֣וּן מִלָּ֑י
and,written_down, words,my
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “someone will write down my words”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִלָּ֑י
words,my
Job is using the term words to mean what he has been saying by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what I have been saying”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בַּסֵּ֣פֶר וְיֻחָֽקוּ
in/on/at/with,scroll and,inscribed
Job is speaking as if he wanted his words literally to be inscribed or engraved on a scroll. He could mean: (1) that he wants someone to record them meticulously on a scroll. Alternate translation: “they will be recorded on a scroll” (2) that he wants someone to engrave them onto a copper sheet. Alternate translation: “they will be inscribed on a copper sheet”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְיֻחָֽקוּ

19:23 Job wanted his words . . . inscribed on a monument, not in a book; Job desired a permanent record of his claim to innocence in response to Bildad’s assertion that he would be forgotten (18:17).
