UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִתְּצֵ֣⁠נִי סָ֭בִיב

breaks_~_down,me on_every_side

Job is speaking as he were literally a building and God had broken him down completely. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He has destroyed everything in my life”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וָ⁠אֵלַ֑ךְ

and,gone

Job is speaking as if he has literally gone away or left the area where he was formerly living. See how you translated the similar expression in 14:20. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Job is speaking of what he expects to happen imminently as if it had already happened. Alternate translation: “and I am about to die”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וַ⁠יַּסַּ֥ע כָּ֝⁠עֵ֗ץ תִּקְוָתִֽ⁠י

and,uprooted like_THE,tree hope,my

Job is using this comparison to say that just as a tree will not grow again once it has been completely uprooted, so he believes that God has taken away his hope forever. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “and he has taken away my hope forever, just as an uprooted tree will never grow back”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַ⁠יַּסַּ֥ע כָּ֝⁠עֵ֗ץ תִּקְוָתִֽ⁠י

and,uprooted like_THE,tree hope,my

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of hope, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and he has kept me from ever hoping again, just as an uprooted tree will never grow back”
