uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲֽ⁠יָם־אָ֭נִי אִם־תַּנִּ֑ין כִּֽי־תָשִׂ֖ים עָלַ֣⁠י מִשְׁמָֽר

?,sea I if sea_monster that/for/because/then/when set over,me guard

Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “I am not the sea or the sea monster, so you do not need to set a guard over me!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הֲֽ⁠יָם & אִם־תַּנִּ֑ין

?,sea & if sea_monster

See the General Introduction to Job for a discussion of the sea monster and see how you translated the name Leviathan in 3:8. Alternate translation: “the sea monster that is associated with chaos”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

כִּֽי־תָשִׂ֖ים

that/for/because/then/when set

Job is using the future tense to indicate something that God would do out of necessity. Your language may have its own way of expressing such a meaning. Alternate translation: “that you would have to set”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

7:12 The sea monster (Hebrew yam) and dragon (Hebrew tannin) represent chaotic opposition to God’s orderly creation. In Canaanite mythology, Yam was the primordial sea god and Tannin was a sea monster (Jer 51:34) or a mythological deity of chaos (Ps 74:13-14). This kind of chaos is also represented in Job as Leviathan (Job 3:8; Isa 27:1) or Rahab (Job 9:13; 26:12; Isa 51:9). The Lord is sovereign over the sea and all that it represents (Job 26:12; 38:8-11; Ps 89:9-10; Jer 5:22).
