OET (OET-RV) I broke the jaws[fn] of unjust people,
⇔ so they had to drop their prey from their teeth.
29:17 Of course this is figurative language as you can see from the second line of the doublet.

וָֽ֭אֲשַׁבְּרָה מְתַלְּע֣וֹת עַוָּ֑ל וּ֝מִשִּׁנָּ֗יו אַשְׁלִ֥יךְ טָֽרֶף
and,broke, fangs wicked and,from,teeth,his snatched prey
Job is speaking as if an unrighteous person had been a wild animal that was holding a vulnerable person like captured prey in its teeth and as if he had broken the jaws of this animal so that they could no longer hold the vulnerable person, who would drop out to safety. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And when an unrighteous person had coerced a vulnerable person into an oppressive arrangement, I made the unrighteous person release the vulnerable person from that arrangement”

wicked & (Some words not found in UHB: and,broke, fangs wicked and,from,teeth,his snatched prey )
Job is using the adjective unrighteous as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “unrighteous people, and … from their teeth”

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.
