OET interlinear JOB 24:20

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

יִשְׁכָּ֘חֵ֤⁠הוּ רֶ֨חֶם ׀ מְתָ֘ק֤⁠וֹ רִמָּ֗ה ע֥וֹד לֹֽא־יִזָּכֵ֑ר

it,forgets_him womb it,sucks_on_him worm again/more not remembered

The pronouns him and he refers to a wicked person. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [The womb will forget a wicked person, the worm will dine on that person, until he is not remembered]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יִשְׁכָּ֘חֵ֤⁠הוּ רֶ֨חֶם

it,forgets_him womb

Job is using the term womb by association to mean the mother who carried the wicked person in her womb and gave birth to him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [As for a wicked person, even his own mother will forget him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

מְתָ֘ק֤⁠וֹ רִמָּ֗ה

it,sucks_on_him worm

The term translated dine means to eat with enjoyment. Job is describing an ironic consequence that wicked people will experience. During their lives, as he said earlier, they had oil and wine and grain that they enjoyed but did not share with others. Now, after death, they provide a satisfying meal for the worms that eat them in their graves. Your language may have a term similar to dine that you could use in your translation.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ע֥וֹד לֹֽא־יִזָּכֵ֑ר וַ⁠תִּשָּׁבֵ֖ר כָּ⁠עֵ֣ץ עַוְלָֽה

again/more not remembered and,it_was_broken like,tree wickedness

If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [until no one remembers him and wickedness is like a tree that a windstorm has broken]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וַ⁠תִּשָּׁבֵ֖ר כָּ⁠עֵ֣ץ עַוְלָֽה

and,it_was_broken like,tree wickedness

The point of this comparison is that just as a tree may be broken (by a powerful wind, for example) so that it falls over and dies, so a wicked person will lose his possessions and status and ultimately die. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [and wickedness is broken, just as a windstorm knocks down a tree and it dies]
