OET interlinear JOB 27:15

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

שְׂ֭רִידָיו בַּ⁠מָּ֣וֶת יִקָּבֵ֑רוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: survivors_of,his by,death buried and,his_of,widows 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](../15/02.md). 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: survivors_of,his by,death buried and,his_of,widows 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,his_of,widows 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]
