uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הַ⁠לְ⁠אֵ֥ל יִסְכָּן־גָּ֑בֶר

?,to,God (Some words not found in UHB: ?,to,God be_of_use man that/for/because/then/when be_of_service on,him wise )

Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [A man cannot be useful to God!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

גָּ֑בֶר

(Some words not found in UHB: ?,to,God be_of_use man that/for/because/then/when be_of_service on,him wise )

Here the masculine term man has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [a person]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
