TSNTyndale Study Notes:

14:16 guard my steps: Here, Job refers to God’s providential care (10:12) rather than to his surveillance (13:27; 14:3).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עַ֭תָּה צְעָדַ֣⁠י תִּסְפּ֑וֹר לֹֽא־תִ֝שְׁמ֗וֹר עַל־חַטָּאתִֽ⁠י

then steps_of,my count not keep_watch on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in sin_of,my

Job is speaking as if God literally will number or count the steps he is taking. He is speaking of living as if it were walking along a path. Job alludes to what he said in [13:27](../13/27.md), that God was watching his paths and marking places where he had to step. Job could mean here: (1) that once God was no longer angry with him, God would caringly observe all that he did to ensure that he was all right, but God would no longer be looking to see whether he was doing wrong. Alternate translation: [then you would caringly observe all that I did, but you would no longer be looking to see whether I was doing wrong] (2) that God is currently restricting his activities, but once God was no longer angry with him, God would not watch him so closely. Alternate translation: [now you are restricting my activities to keep me from doing the slightest thing wrong, but then you would no longer watch me so closely]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לֹֽא־תִ֝שְׁמ֗וֹר עַל־חַטָּאתִֽ⁠י

not keep_watch on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in sin_of,my

Job is using his sin to mean all of him in the act of sinning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you would not watch over me to see whether I am doing wrong]
