Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִם־צָ֭דַקְתִּי לֹ֣א אֶעֱנֶ֑ה
(Some words not found in UHB: which/who if innocent not answer to,judge_of,my appeal_for_mercy )
The pronoun whom refers to text. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers, and it may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [Even if I were righteous, I would not try to answer God]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אִם־צָ֭דַקְתִּי
if (Some words not found in UHB: which/who if innocent not answer to,judge_of,my appeal_for_mercy )
By righteous, in this context Job implicitly means being the unjustly injured party in a lawsuit. Your language may have an expression for this that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: [if I were in the right]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לִ֝מְשֹׁפְטִ֗י אֶתְחַנָּֽן
(Some words not found in UHB: which/who if innocent not answer to,judge_of,my appeal_for_mercy )
Job implicitly means that he would plead to God as his judge. He is not talking about appealing to some other legal authority to judge between him and God. You could indicate this in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [I would plead for mercy to God as my judge]
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.
