פְּרָאִ֨ים ׀ בַּֽמִּדְבָּ֗ר יָצְא֣וּ בְּ֭פָעֳלָם
wild_donkeys in/on/at/with,desert they_came_out in/on/at/with,toil,their
The point of this comparison is that the need to escape from oppressive wicked people forces poor people to go far away from human community, like wild donkeys in the wilderness. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “like wild donkeys in the wilderness, far away from human community,”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
יָצְא֣וּ
they_came_out
Here and through verse 8, the pronoun they refers to poor people. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “poor people go out”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ל֥וֹ לֶ֝֗חֶם לַנְּעָרִֽים
to=him/it food/grain/bread for_the,children
The pronoun him does not refer to a specific poor person. Job means poor people in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “provides them with bread for their children”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ל֥וֹ לֶ֝֗חֶם לַנְּעָרִֽים
to=him/it food/grain/bread for_the,children
Job is using one kind of food, bread, to mean food in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a general term in your translation, or you could name the kind of food that people would find in the Arabah or desert. Alternate translation: “provides them with roots and herbs to feed to their children”
