Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
וְיָמַ֣י קַ֭לּוּ מִנִּי־רָ֑ץ בָּֽ֝רְח֗וּ
and,days,my swifter than runner flee_away
Job is speaking of the days of his life as if they were a living thing that could run fast and flee. This could mean: (1) that Job is quickly using up his days, that is, he is rapidly approaching the end of his life. Alternate translation: “And I am using up my days very quickly” (2) that each of Job’s days goes by quickly. Alternate translation: “And each of my days seems very short”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לֹא־רָא֥וּ טוֹבָֽה
not see good
Here, as in 7:7, to see good means to experience it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “They do not experience good”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
לֹא־רָא֥וּ טוֹבָֽה
not see good
Job is using the adjective good as a noun to mean a certain kind of experience. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “They do not experience good things”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
לֹא־רָא֥וּ טוֹבָֽה
not see good
Job is speaking of the days of his life as if they were a living thing that could experience good things or fail to experience them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I do not experience good things during my days”
9:1-35 Job responded to Bildad by describing God’s cosmic and judicial power. His speech sounds like a complicated legal case, with a summons and response (9:3, 14-16, 19b, 32), the possibility of self-incrimination (9:20), an arbiter (9:33-34), an accusatory question (9:12), a legal sentence (9:22), and a declaration of guilt (9:28-30).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
