Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
אֵ֭מָתִי
fear,me
Elihu is using this possessive form to describe Job’s fear of him, not his own fear of something. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the fear of me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְ֝אַכְפִּ֗י עָלֶ֥יךָ לֹא־יִכְבָּֽד
and,pressure,my upon,you not heavy
Elihu is speaking as if he might literally use his arms and hands to push down hard on Job and keep him from getting up, although he says that he will not do that. He means that he will not treat Job severely. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and I will not treat you severely”
33:7 you don’t need to be afraid of me (literally my terror shall not make you afraid): God’s terrors (6:4; 7:14; 9:34; 13:21; 23:15) had been thrown in Job’s face by Eliphaz (15:21, 24; 22:10), Bildad (18:11, 14), and Zophar (20:25).
• Elihu promised not to come down hard on Job, but later he broke his word (34:7-9, 33-37).
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.
