OET (OET-LV)If I_restrained from_desire poor_[people] and_eyes of_a_widow I_caused_to_fail.

OET (OET-RV)  ⇔ If I’ve been stingy in meeting the needs of the poor,
 ⇔ or have allowed the widow’s EYES TO FAIL,

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מֵ⁠חֵ֣פֶץ דַּלִּ֑ים

from,desire poor

Job is using this possessive form to describe something that the poor would desire. The sense is that they would desire this because they needed it. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “something that the poor desired” or “something that the poor needed”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

דַּלִּ֑ים

poor

Job is using the adjective poor 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: “poor people”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠עֵינֵ֖י אַלְמָנָ֣ה אֲכַלֶּֽה

and,eyes widow caused_~_tofail

Job is using one part of this widow, her eyes, to mean all of her in the act of looking for help, that is, expecting and awaiting help. If her eyes were to fail, that would mean that she had given up hope of receiving the help she needed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “or if I have neglected to help a widow for so long that she gave up hope of receiving help”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אַלְמָנָ֣ה

widow

Job is not referring to a specific widow. He means any widow who might have needed help. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using an indefinite article. Alternate translation: “a widow”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

31:1-40 Job called down curses on himself if he were guilty of the accusations made against him. Except for his mention of idolatry (31:26-27), Job addressed his fidelity to God in terms of the second half of the Ten Commandments, summarized by the command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Lev 19:18; Rom 13:9).
