OET (OET-LV) [he_is]_binding_up waters in/on/at/with_clouds_his and_not it_is_split_open [the]_cloud under_them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
צֹרֵֽר־מַ֥יִם בְּעָבָ֑יו וְלֹא־נִבְקַ֖ע עָנָ֣ן תַּחְתָּֽם
wraps_up waters in/on/at/with,clouds,his and=not burst cloud under,them
Job is speaking as if God literally uses clouds to bind or tie up the waters that eventually fall from those clouds to earth as rain. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation, as a new sentence: “God makes rainclouds that contain much water”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
וְלֹא־נִבְקַ֖ע עָנָ֣ן תַּחְתָּֽם
and=not burst cloud under,them
Job is not referring to a specific cloud. He means clouds, specifically rainclouds, in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “but those rainclouds are not torn under those waters”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְלֹא־נִבְקַ֖ע עָנָ֣ן תַּחְתָּֽם
and=not burst cloud under,them
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “but those waters do not tear the clouds under them” or “but the weight of those waters does not tear the clouds apart”
OET (OET-LV) [he_is]_binding_up waters in/on/at/with_clouds_his and_not it_is_split_open [the]_cloud under_them.
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.
