OET interlinear JOB 31:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

אִ֥ם תִּטֶּ֣ה אַשֻּׁרִ⁠י֮ מִנִּ֪י הַ֫⁠דָּ֥רֶךְ

if (Some words not found in UHB: if turned step_of,my from the,way and=after eyes_of,my walked heart_of,my and,to,palms_of,my clung spot )

Job is using one part of himself, a step that he would take, to mean all of him in the act of walking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [if I have turned aside from the way]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אִ֥ם תִּטֶּ֣ה אַשֻּׁרִ⁠י֮ מִנִּ֪י הַ֫⁠דָּ֥רֶךְ

if (Some words not found in UHB: if turned step_of,my from the,way and=after eyes_of,my walked heart_of,my and,to,palms_of,my clung spot )

Job is speaking of the right manner in which to live as if it were a way or path that people should walk along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [if I have failed to live correctly]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לִבִּ֑⁠י & מֻאֽוּם

(Some words not found in UHB: if turned step_of,my from the,way and=after eyes_of,my walked heart_of,my and,to,palms_of,my clung spot )

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. Alternate translation: [if my heart … if a spot]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠אַחַ֣ר עֵ֭ינַ⁠י הָלַ֣ךְ לִבִּ֑⁠י

and=after eyes_of,my walked (Some words not found in UHB: if turned step_of,my from the,way and=after eyes_of,my walked heart_of,my and,to,palms_of,my clung spot )

Job is speaking of his heart and his eyes as if they were living things that could go places, the eyes going somewhere first and the heart following. Here Job is using his heart to mean his desires and his eyes to mean what he sees. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [or if I have seen something that did not belong to me but I have coveted it for myself]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ֝⁠בְ⁠כַפַּ֗⁠י דָּ֣בַק מֻאֽוּם

(Some words not found in UHB: if turned step_of,my from the,way and=after eyes_of,my walked heart_of,my and,to,palms_of,my clung spot )

As in 17:9, Job is speaking as if people who are innocent of wrongdoing literally have clean hands, so that when he speaks of a spot or stain having stuck to his hands, he is raising the issue of whether he has done something wrong. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [or I have done something morally wrong]
