Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אִם־לֹ֣א עַל־שִׁ֭כְמִי אֶשָּׂאֶ֑נּוּ
if not on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in shoulder,my carry,it
Job is using the word If to introduce a question that anticipates a negative answer. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “I would bear it on my shoulder, would I not?”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
אִם־לֹ֣א עַל־שִׁ֭כְמִי אֶשָּׂאֶ֑נּוּ
if not on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in shoulder,my carry,it
Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “I would certainly bear it on my shoulder!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אִם־לֹ֣א עַל־שִׁ֭כְמִי אֶשָּׂאֶ֑נּוּ
if not on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in shoulder,my carry,it
Job is speaking as if he would literally bear his opponent’s written legal argument against him on his shoulder. He means that he would have no reason to be ashamed of any of the accusations, knowing that they would be proven false and his honor would be vindicated. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “I would wear it as a badge of honor!”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶֽעֶנְדֶ֖נּוּ עֲטָר֣וֹת לִֽי
bind,it crown to=me
Job is using the plural form crowns to refer to a crown of superlative quality. Your language may use plural forms in the same way. If not, you could express the meaning in another way. Alternate translation: “I would wear it on my head as a splendid crown” or “I would wrap it around my head as a splendid garland”
31:36 face the accusation proudly (literally carry it on my shoulder; cp. Exod 28:12; Isa 22:22): He would take full responsibility for his actions.
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.
