Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

17.1 Spiritus mine attenuabitur. GREG. Attenuatur spiritus electorum timore yudicis, and when/but_if which in se carnales cogitationes inveniunt, pœnitentiæ ardore consumunt. Spiritus however iniquorum through tumorem elationis crassescit. And solum to_me superest sepulcrum. Pene mortuum se considerat, because moriturum se minime ignorat whence follows:
17:1 My spirit is crushed: This can refer to a properly contrite attitude (Ps 51:17), but more often it connotes an unbearably sad heart (Prov 18:14).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
רוּחִ֣י חֻ֭בָּלָה יָמַ֥י נִזְעָ֗כוּ
my=breath/wind/spirit broken days,my extinguished
Job is making an overstatement when he says that his spirit has already been destroyed and his days have already been extinguished. He means that this is nearly the case. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “My spirit is nearly destroyed, my days are nearly extinguished”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
רוּחִ֣י חֻ֭בָּלָה יָמַ֥י נִזְעָ֗כוּ
my=breath/wind/spirit broken days,my extinguished
If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “My troubles have nearly destroyed my spirit and extinguished my days”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
רוּחִ֣י
my=breath/wind/spirit
This could mean: (1) Job’s life. Job would be using one part of himself, his spirit, to mean all of him. Alternate translation: “My life” (2) Job’s strength and morale. Alternate translation: “My strength” or “My morale”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יָמַ֥י נִזְעָ֗כוּ
days,my extinguished
Job is using the term days to mean a specific period of time, his lifetime. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my life is extinguished”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יָמַ֥י נִזְעָ֗כוּ
days,my extinguished
Job is speaking as if his life were literally a flame that something had extinguished or snuffed out. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my life is almost over”
Note 6 topic: translate-plural
קְבָרִ֥ים לִֽי
grave to=me
While the term graves is plural, it seems unlikely that Job means he will be buried in more than one grave. (1) Job could be using the plural form to indicate an indefinite thing. Your language may use plural forms in the same way. If not, you could express the meaning in another way. Alternate translation: “there is a grave ready for me somewhere” (2) Job could be speaking of a graveyard or cemetery by association with the way that such a place contains many graves. Alternate translation: “the graveyard is ready for me”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
קְבָרִ֥ים לִֽי
grave to=me
Job is saying that graves are ready for him to mean that he will die soon. This is a mild way of referring to death. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “soon I will die”
