וְ֭אֵל הֵרַ֣ךְ לִבִּ֑י
and,God made_~_faint heart,my
Here, the heart represents the emotions and specifically the emotion of courage. Job is speaking as if God had literally made his heart soft. He means that God has caused him to lose courage. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “For God has caused me to lose courage”
