שְׂ֭רִידָיו בַּמָּ֣וֶת יִקָּבֵ֑רוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: survive,him in/on/at/with,plague buried and,widows,their not weep )
The term death could mean: (1) death literally. Alternate translation: “His survivor will die and be buried” (2) a plague, in which case Job would be using a general term for death to mean one specific cause of death. There is a similar use in Jeremiah 15:2. In that case Job could also be speaking as if the plague itself had buried this survivor, meaning that it had caused his death. Alternate translation: “His survivor will be buried by a plague” or “A plague will kill his survivor”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
שְׂ֭רִידָיו
(Some words not found in UHB: survive,him in/on/at/with,plague buried and,widows,their not weep )
This could mean: (1) the wicked person’s last surviving descendant. Alternate translation: “his last survivor” or “the end of his line” (2) not a specific survivor but his surviving descendants in general. Alternate translation: “his descendants”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְ֝אַלְמְנֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א תִבְכֶּֽינָה
and,widows,their not weep
In this culture, a man might marry more than one woman, so by widows, Job means implicitly that this “wicked man” had more than one wife. You may find it more suitable to use a singular form in your translation. Alternate translation: “and his widow will not lament”
27:9-23 Some interpreters see a new speech here and ascribe it to Zophar because otherwise Zophar has no speech in this cycle.
