between terraces,their press_out_oil winepresses tread and,suffer_thirst
In this verse, the pronoun they refers to poor people and the pronoun their refers to wicked people. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Within the walls of wicked people, poor people press oil; poor people tread the winepresses of wicked people, but those poor people suffer thirst”

press_out_oil
Job is referring to the way that workers would press oil from olives, which were a staple food in this culture. You could indicate that explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. You could also use a general expression if your readers might not be familiar with olives. Alternate translation: “they press oil from olives” or “they work hard to produce oil from plants”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יְקָבִ֥ים דָּ֝רְכ֗וּ וַיִּצְמָֽאוּ
winepresses tread and,suffer_thirst
Job is commenting here on the injustice of wicked people having poor people tread their winepresses but then not giving them any of the wine to drink. (In this culture, the water was often unsafe to drink. People drank wine to quench their thirst, and, because the wine had a low alcohol content, they could do that without getting drunk. Job is not saying that the wicked people should have given the poor people wine so that they could get drunk, only that they should have given them wine to quench their thirst.) See how you expressed the implicit meaning in the previous verse, where Job described how poor people carried grain but went hungry. Alternate translation: “they are thirsty, even though they work treading winepresses, because the wicked people who own the presses do not give them any of the wine to quench their thirst”
