Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
הֵ֤מָּה & לֹֽא־הִכִּ֥ירוּ & וְלֹ֥א יָ֝שְׁב֗וּ
they(emph) & not recognize & and=not stay
The pronoun They at the start of the verse and the two instances of the pronoun they later in the verse refer to the wicked people whom Job has been describing. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “These wicked people … these wicked people … and they do not stay”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
א֥וֹר
light
Job is speaking as if light were an authority and these wicked people were rebelling against it. Job is using light to represent what God has revealed to humans about how they should live. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “against God’s moral revelation”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לֹֽא־הִכִּ֥ירוּ דְרָכָ֑יו וְלֹ֥א יָ֝שְׁב֗וּ בִּנְתִיבֹתָֽיו
not recognize ways,its and=not stay in/on/at/with,paths,its
Job is speaking as if light maintained certain ways and paths that people should walk along. He means that God’s revelation shows people how they should conduct their lives. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they do not regard the manner of life that God has shown people they should follow; no, they live in a different way”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לֹֽא־הִכִּ֥ירוּ דְרָכָ֑יו
not recognize ways,its
Here the word regard means “look at” with the implication of looking with approval. Alternate translation: “they do not admire its ways”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
וְלֹ֥א יָ֝שְׁב֗וּ בִּנְתִיבֹתָֽיו
and=not stay in/on/at/with,paths,its
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this as a positive expression. Alternate translation: “and they leave its paths”

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.
