Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
כִּ֤י
that/for/because/then/when
Job is using the word For to reassert the reason why he did not commit any of the crimes he has been describing. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “No, I did not do any of those things, because”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
אֵ֣יד אֵ֑ל
calamity god
Job is using this possessive form to describe the destruction of a wicked person by God, not the destruction of God by anything. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the knowledge that God destroys wicked people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וּ֝מִשְּׂאֵת֗וֹ לֹ֣א אוּכָֽל
and,because_of,majesty,his not do
Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Job is referring to neglecting the poor and intimidating the fatherless, as he described in verses 19–21. Alternate translation: “and because of his majesty, I was not able to do any of those things” or “and because of his majesty, I could not have done any of those things”
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).
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.
