OET interlinear JOB 33:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠הוּכַ֣ח

,he_is_chastened

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God also chastens a person]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְר֖וֹב עֲצָמָ֣י⁠ו אֵתָֽן

(Some words not found in UHB: ,he_is_chastened with,pain on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in bed_of,his and, his_bones_of,his constant )

Elihu is speaking as if there were literally contention or warfare among the bones of this person. He is using an image similar to the one that Job used in 30:17 when he said, “Night pierces my bones.” Job meant that he got a stabbing sensation of pain in his body when he lay down at night. Here Elihu speaks similarly as if Job’s bones were being wounded in battle and Job was feeling the pain of that. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and he feels continual discomfort in his body]
