UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּֽ⁠מִ⁠בְּלִ֥י מַ֝חְסֶ֗ה

and,for,lack_of shelter

In this instance, the word without means “without any other.” You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and because they have no other shelter,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

חִבְּקוּ־צֽוּר

cling rock

Job is not referring to a specific rock. He means rocks in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “they hug the rocks”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

חִבְּקוּ־צֽוּר

cling rock

Job is using this expression to mean that poor people huddle up close to rocks in order to seek shelter from the rain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they huddle up close to rocks”
