In this verse, Job interrupts the if-then statement he is making in verses 5, 7, and 8. He does that in order to assert that if God judges him fairly, then God will recognize that he does not deserve the punishment he describes in verse 8 or any of the other punishments he describes in this chapter. If it would be clearer in your language, you could put this assertion before the if-then statement by creating a verse bridge for verses 5–6. It might say something like this: “Now if God would weigh me in balances of righteousness, then he would know my integrity. If I have walked with falsehood or my foot has hurried to deceit”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יִשְׁקְלֵ֥נִי בְמֹאזְנֵי־צֶ֑דֶק
weigh,me in/on/at/with,scales accurate
Job is speaking as if God might literally weigh him in a set of balances. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “let him judge me by standards of righteousness”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
יִשְׁקְלֵ֥נִי בְמֹאזְנֵי־צֶ֑דֶק
weigh,me in/on/at/with,scales accurate
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “let him judge me in a way that is right”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
תֻּמָּתִֽי
integrity,my
See how you translated the term integrity in 2:3. Alternate translation: “that I live in the right way”
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.
