UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִפְרְצֵ֣⁠נִי פֶ֭רֶץ עַל־פְּנֵי־פָ֑רֶץ

breached,me breach on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of breach

Job is speaking as if he were a defensive wall around a city and God was smashing openings or breaches in that wall. He means that the continual sufferings that he is experiencing are making him less and less able to be resilient. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He causes me continual sufferings that are making me less and less resilient”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

פֶ֭רֶץ עַל־פְּנֵי־פָ֑רֶץ

breach on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of breach

This expression could mean: (1) that God is smashing openings in many different places in this wall (which represents Job). Alternate translation, if you choose to represent the image in your translation: “smashing openings in many different places in my wall” (2) that after succeeding in smashing an opening in this wall, God smashes repeatedly in the same place to make that opening bigger. Alternate translation: “ever enlarging the opening in my wall”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יָרֻ֖ץ עָלַ֣⁠י כְּ⁠גִבּֽוֹר

rushes at,me like,warrior

Job is speaking as if God were literally running against him the way a warrior would run to attack an enemy soldier. Job is answering Eliphaz with his own words. In 15:26, Eliphaz used the same image to describe how wicked people oppose God. If you used the image or represented it as a comparison in your translation in that verse, you may wish to translate the corresponding image here in the same way. If you used plain language there, you could use similar language here. Alternate translation: “he opposes me very forcefully”
