Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וְנֶֽפֶשׁ־חֲלָלִ֥ים תְּשַׁוֵּ֑עַ

וְנֶֽפֶשׁ־חֲלָלִ֥ים תְּשַׁוֵּ֑עַ

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וֶ֝אֱל֗וֹהַּ לֹא־יָשִׂ֥ים תִּפְלָֽה
and,God not charges crime
Job implicitly means that God seems to feel that there is nothing wrong with what the wicked people are doing, and so God does not punish them in response to the poor people’s cries for justice. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “but God does not punish the wicked people who have caused their suffering”
24:12 ignores their moaning: It appeared to Job that contrary to God’s own character (Exod 2:23-24; Ps 12:5), God neither relieved the plight of the wronged (Job 24:2-12) nor hindered the wicked from harming their victims (24:13-17).
