UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יָ֭דַעְתִּי מַחְשְׁבֽוֹתֵי⁠כֶ֑ם וּ֝⁠מְזִמּ֗וֹת

I_know thoughts,your_all's and,schemes

Job implicitly means that he knows his friends are thinking of him when they speak of a wicked person. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I know that when you speak of a wicked person, you are speaking of me, and I know the notions”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

מַחְשְׁבֽוֹתֵי⁠כֶ֑ם & תַּחְמֹֽסוּ

thoughts,your_all's & wrong

The words your and you are plural here because Job is addressing his three friends, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction. The words “you” and “your” are plural in the rest of the chapter as well, specifically in verses 29 and 34.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ֝⁠מְזִמּ֗וֹת עָלַ֥⁠י תַּחְמֹֽסוּ

and,schemes to,me wrong

Job is speaking as if his friends would literally wrest, or yank violently out of place, notions or ideas to use against him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the ideas you misappropriate to use against me”
