OET (OET-LV) [fn] who confront_me and_repay under all the_heavens to_me it.
41:3 Note: KJB: ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job).41.11
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲיַרְבֶּ֣ה אֵ֭לֶיךָ תַּחֲנוּנִ֑ים אִם־יְדַבֵּ֖ר אֵלֶ֣יךָ רַכּֽוֹת
(Some words not found in UHB: who? confront,me and,repay below/instead_of all/each/any/every the=heavens to=me he/it )
Yahweh is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “It would not multiply supplications to you! It would not speak tender things to you!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
הֲיַרְבֶּ֣ה אֵ֭לֶיךָ תַּחֲנוּנִ֑ים אִם־יְדַבֵּ֖ר אֵלֶ֣יךָ רַכּֽוֹת
(Some words not found in UHB: who? confront,me and,repay below/instead_of all/each/any/every the=heavens to=me he/it )
Yahweh is speaking as if Leviathan could talk intelligently. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “If it could speak, it would not multiply supplications to you! If it could talk, it would not say tender things to you!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
הֲיַרְבֶּ֣ה אֵ֭לֶיךָ תַּחֲנוּנִ֑ים
(Some words not found in UHB: who? confront,me and,repay below/instead_of all/each/any/every the=heavens to=me he/it )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of supplications, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “It would not keep begging you to release it!”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אִם־יְדַבֵּ֖ר אֵלֶ֣יךָ רַכּֽוֹת
(Some words not found in UHB: who? confront,me and,repay below/instead_of all/each/any/every the=heavens to=me he/it )
Yahweh is using the word If to introduce a question that anticipates a negative answer. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “It would not speak tender things to you, would it?”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
אִם־יְדַבֵּ֖ר אֵלֶ֣יךָ רַכּֽוֹת
(Some words not found in UHB: who? confront,me and,repay below/instead_of all/each/any/every the=heavens to=me he/it )
Yahweh is using the adjective tender as a noun to mean a certain kind of saying. The ULT adds the word things to show that. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “It would not speak politely to you, would it”

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.
