bitter (Some words not found in UHB: also/yet the=day bitter my_complaint_of,my hand_of,my heavy on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in groaning_of,my )

Job is speaking as if his complaint about what has happened to him is bitter or bad-tasting. The image is that what he says is so unpleasant that it leaves a bad taste in his mouth when he says it. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I have many unpleasant things to complain about]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

hand_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: also/yet the=day bitter my_complaint_of,my hand_of,my heavy on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in groaning_of,my )

Job is speaking as if he were literally holding his hand down hard on his groaning in order to suppress it. He means that there is more that he could groan or complain about than he has actually stated yet. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I have been suppressing my groaning]
