OET interlinear JOB 4:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

שַׁאֲגַ֣ת אַ֭רְיֵה וְ⁠ק֣וֹל שָׁ֑חַל וְ⁠שִׁנֵּ֖י כְפִירִ֣ים נִתָּֽעוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: roar_of lion and_[the],sound_of fierce_lion and_[the],teeth_of young_lions broken )

Eliphaz is using exclamations to add emphasis to the point he is making. If these would not be natural in your language, you could translate them as statements. Alternate translation: [Lions may roar, indeed, fierce lions may rumble, but the teeth of the young lions are broken]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שַׁאֲגַ֣ת אַ֭רְיֵה וְ⁠ק֣וֹל שָׁ֑חַל וְ⁠שִׁנֵּ֖י כְפִירִ֣ים נִתָּֽעוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: roar_of lion and_[the],sound_of fierce_lion and_[the],teeth_of young_lions broken )

Eliphaz is speaking of wicked people as if they were literally lions. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Wicked people may say threatening things and appear dangerous, but God will keep them from harming righteous people]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠שִׁנֵּ֖י כְפִירִ֣ים נִתָּֽעוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: roar_of lion and_[the],sound_of fierce_lion and_[the],teeth_of young_lions broken )

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: [But God breaks the teeth of the young lions]
