לֹ֤א עִנָּה֙ מִלִּבּ֔וֹ
not (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when not afflict from,heart_of,his and,he_has_grieved sons_of (a)_man )
Here the heart represents God’s true desire and will. The writer is saying that God does not afflict people because he desires to do so. You may have a comparable expression in your language, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he does not willingly afflict]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
בְנֵי־אִֽישׁ
sons_of (a)_man
Although the writer uses the masculine term the sons of man, he means this to apply to people in general, both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include language that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [people]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
