Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וְזֶ֗ה
and=this
See how you translated the expression “This one” in 21:23. Alternate translation: “But another person”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ מָרָ֑ה
in/on/at/with,soul bitter
Like the word “bone” in verse 21, in this expression, the word soul indicates the essence of something. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “in the depths of bitterness”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ מָרָ֑ה
in/on/at/with,soul bitter
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of bitterness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “when his life is very bitter”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְלֹֽא־אָ֝כַ֗ל בַּטּוֹבָֽה
and=not tasted in/on/at/with,prosperity
Job is talking about more than food here, and so when he speaks as if a person could literally have eaten things that are good (although in this case the person did not), he means experiencing those things. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he has not experienced the good”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
וְלֹֽא־אָ֝כַ֗ל בַּטּוֹבָֽה
and=not tasted in/on/at/with,prosperity
Job is using the adjective good as a noun to mean a certain kind of thing. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “and he has not experienced good things” or “and he has not enjoyed good things”
21:25 in bitter poverty: Job repeatedly complained about the apparent futility of existence (3:20; 7:11; 9:18; 10:1).
OET (OET-LV) And_this he_will_die in/on/at/with_soul bitter and_not he_has_eaten in/on/at/with_prosperity.
OET (OET-RV) But others die full of bitterness,
⇔ and they haven’t tasted prosperity.
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.
