Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּצִדְקָתִ֣י הֶ֭חֱזַקְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אַרְפֶּ֑הָ
in/on/at/with,righteousness,my hold_fast and=not let_~_go,it
Job is speaking as if his righteousness were literally an object that he was holding onto. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I am going to continue to insist that I am righteous”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
לֹֽא־יֶחֱרַ֥ף לְ֝בָבִ֗י
not reproach heart,my
Job is speaking as if his heart, which in this context represents his conscience, were a person who might reproach him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I will not have a guilty conscience”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
לֹֽא־יֶחֱרַ֥ף לְ֝בָבִ֗י
not reproach heart,my
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb reproach. Alternate translation: “I will be confident that I have acted properly”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
מִיָּמָֽי
any_of,days,my
Job is using this expression to describe his lifetime. He means the period extending from his earliest days of life to the present. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “for as long as I live”
27:5-6 Job considered it profane and reprehensible to concede that his friends were right. Condemning the innocent, as they were doing to him, was an abomination (Exod 23:7; Prov 6:16-19; 17:15).
