UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ֭⁠יִגְאֶה

and,lifted_up

The pronoun it refers to Job’s head, which in the previous verse he said he would not lift. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “And should my head arise”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ֭⁠יִגְאֶה

and,lifted_up

Job is speaking of his head as if it were a living thing that could arise on its own. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And should I raise my head” or “And if I did raise my head”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַּ⁠שַּׁ֣חַל תְּצוּדֵ֑⁠נִי

like_the,lion hunt,me

The point of this comparison is that just as a lion stalks its prey relentlessly, so, Job is saying, God would stalk him relentlessly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “you would stalk me as relentlessly as a lion stalks its prey”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ֝⁠תָשֹׁ֗ב תִּתְפַּלָּא־בִֽ⁠י

and,again exploits in/on/at/with,me

In this expression, the word return means to do something again. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and once again you would distinguish yourself against me”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ֝⁠תָשֹׁ֗ב תִּתְפַּלָּא־בִֽ⁠י

and,again exploits in/on/at/with,me

Job means implicitly that God would distinguish himself by punishing Job in spectacular ways. (Exodus 3:20 uses the same verb to describe the plagues that God sent against the Egyptians.) You could indicate this meaning in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and you would do further great things to punish me” or “you would punish me further in spectacular ways”
