20:23 Note: We read one or more accents in L differently than BHS. Often this notation indicates a typographical error in BHS.
OET (OET-RV) Maybe when they’ve filled their bellies,
⇔ God will send his anger against them,
⇔ raining down on them and their meal.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
יְהִ֤י ׀ לְמַלֵּ֬א בִטְנ֗וֹ יְֽשַׁלַּח־בּ֭וֹ חֲר֣וֹן אַפּ֑וֹ וְיַמְטֵ֥ר עָ֝לֵ֗ימוֹ בִּלְחוּמֽוֹ
let_it_be when,fills belly,his send in/on/over=him/it burning anger,his and,rain upon,him in/on/at/with,food,his
The pronoun He at the start of this verse, the two instances of him, and the second instance of his refer to the wicked person, while the two instances of he later in the verse and the first instance of his refer to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “The wicked person will be about to fill his belly, and God will send the burning of his nose against that wicked person, yes, God will rain it upon that person while that person is eating”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְיַמְטֵ֥ר עָ֝לֵ֗ימוֹ
and,rain upon,him
Zophar is speaking as if God would literally make his anger rain on a wicked person. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “yes, he will punish him severely”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
בִּלְחוּמֽוֹ
in/on/at/with,food,his
Interpreters are not certain what Zophar means by this expression, which can be translated in various ways. It could mean: (1) Alternate translation: “while he is eating” (2) Alternate translation: “upon his flesh” or “upon his body” (3) Alternate translation: “with his arrows” or “with his weapons”

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.
