OET interlinear JOB 26:8

uW Translation Notes:

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”
