Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / irony
מְשׂ֣וֹשׂ דַּרְכּ֑וֹ
joy its=road/course
Bildad actually means to communicate the opposite of the literal meaning of his words. He is speaking in this way for emphasis. He does not mean that the godless person has actual joy. Such a person may have temporary prosperity, but he then experiences sorrow as a consequence of the way he has been living. Alternate translation: “the sorrow of his way”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מְשׂ֣וֹשׂ דַּרְכּ֑וֹ
joy its=road/course
Bildad is speaking of how a person lives as if that were a way or path that the person was walking along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the sorrow that comes from his conduct”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּ֝מֵעָפָ֗ר אַחֵ֥ר יִצְמָֽחוּ
and,from,dust next/another spring
Bildad is continuing to speak as if the godless person were a plant. When he says that other plants will sprout from the dust (that is, the ground), he means that other people will take the place of the godless person when his conduct causes his ruin. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and other people will take his position and his possessions”
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.
