TSNTyndale Study Notes:

16:12 took me by the neck: This might refer to a wild animal with its prey (see 16:9), but it is more likely a military image that signaled defeat (Gen 49:8; Ps 18:40).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַֽ⁠יְפַרְפְּרֵ֗⁠נִי וְ⁠אָחַ֣ז בְּ֭⁠עָרְפִּ⁠י וַֽ⁠יְפַצְפְּצֵ֑⁠נִי

and,shattered,me and,seized in/on/at/with,neck,me and,dashed_~_topieces,me

Job is speaking as if God has literally shattered him, breaking him into many parts, and seized his neck and shaken him to pieces. He means that God has destroyed everything important in his life—his family, his health, and his possessions. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express this as a comparison, as the UST does, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but he has destroyed my family, my health, and my possessions”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יְקִימֵ֥⁠נִי ל֝֗⁠וֹ לְ⁠מַטָּרָֽה

and,set_~_up,me to=him/it as,target

Job is speaking as if God has literally set him up as a target. (He continues this image in the first line of the next verse.) He means that it seems as if God has harmed him very intentionally. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express this as a comparison, as the UST does, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Yes, it seems as if he has harmed me very intentionally”
