לָ֭⁠כֵן

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

שְׂעִפַּ֣⁠י יְשִׁיב֑וּ⁠נִי

disquieting_thoughts,my answer,me

Zophar is speaking of his thoughts as if they were a living thing that could turn him back, that is, make him turn around and return to Job as if he had left him. He means that he wants to speak to Job again and share what he is thinking in response to what Job has just said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I need to speak to you again and tell you what I am thinking”
