OET (OET-LV) If/because I_was_terrified_of a_multitude great and_contempt of_clans terrified_me and_kept_silent not I_went_outside [the]_door.
OET (OET-RV) because I feared how the big crowd would react,
⇔ ≈and because being on the receiving end of the contempt of the clans terrified me,
⇔ then I’d remain silent and wouldn’t go outside,

Job is using a thing he would do to confess his sins publicly, go out the door, to mean the entire act of making a public confession. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I did not confess my sin publicly”
Note 2 topic: writing-oathformula
לֹא־אֵ֥צֵא פָֽתַח
not go_out doors
This is the conclusion of an oath that Job is swearing in this verse. See what you did in 31:25, where Job similarly does not state the second part of the condition in an oath that he is swearing. Alternate translation: “I did not go out the door, then judges would certainly punish such iniquity” or “I did not go out the door, then I would certainly deserve punishment”
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 Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
