Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
לִשְׁכֹּ֑ן
so_that,dwell
This phrase indicates the result of what Job describes in the previous verse, “They are driven out from the midst.” It may be helpful to indicate that explicitly, and it may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “As a result, they have to live”
Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
בַּעֲר֣וּץ נְחָלִ֣ים
in/on/at/with,gullies wadis
Since Job is speaking of the slopes of many wadis, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of slope. Alternate translation: “on the slopes of wadis”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
חֹרֵ֖י עָפָ֣ר
holes dust
Job is using one part of the ground, the dust on its surface, to mean the ground itself. Iron is actually taken from deep in the ground. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in holes in the ground”
30:5-6 live in frightening ravines, in caves and among the rocks: The wretched life of Job’s mockers resembled Israel’s situation under Midianite oppression (Judg 6:2), David’s life as he fled from Saul (1 Sam 22:1-2), and Elijah’s life as he awaited the Lord’s instruction (1 Kgs 17:3-8).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
