uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹֽא־תְ֭שׁוּרֵ⁠נִי עֵ֣ין רֹ֑אִי

not it,will_observe_me eye_of sees

As the second part of the verse indicates, Job is speaking implicitly of what will happen after he dies. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [The eye of the one seeing me now will not regard me then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

עֵ֣ין רֹ֑אִי

eye_of sees

Job is using one part of God, his eye, to mean all of God in the act of seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [The one seeing me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

עֵ֣ין רֹ֑אִי

eye_of sees

Even though Job has begun to address God, here is speaking about God in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [You who see me]

This expression means that God will be looking for Job. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you will be looking for me]
