38:27 Note: We read one or more accents in L differently than BHS. Often this notation indicates a typographical error in BHS.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
לְהַשְׂבִּ֣יעַ
to,satisfy
Yahweh is speaking of an arid region as if it were a living thing that was thirsty and that rain could satisfy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to water”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
שֹׁ֭אָה וּמְשֹׁאָ֑ה
waste and,wasteland
The terms waste and desolation mean similar things. Yahweh is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “the arid desert”
38:24-27 The east wind blows off the desert to scorch crops (Gen 41:6, 23, 27; Jer 4:11; Jon 4:8) and dry up seas (Exod 14:21; Isa 11:15). It is an arid contrast to the torrents of rain that cause flooding.
• Beneficial rain to satisfy the parched ground (Pss 104:10-11; 107:35; Isa 35:7; 58:11) stands in contrast to both scorching winds (Job 38:24) and flooding rains (38:25).

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.
