UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

צְעִירִ֥ים מִמֶּ֗⁠נִּי לְ⁠יָ֫מִ֥ים

younger than,I as_far_as,days

Job is using the adjective phrase fewer in days as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. (He is contrasting his present situation, in which younger people now disrespect him, with the way that “young men” formerly withdrew respectfully from his presence and “old men” stood up out of respect for him, as he described in 29:8.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “those who are much younger than I am”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֲשֶׁר־מָאַ֥סְתִּי אֲבוֹתָ֑⁠ם לָ֝⁠שִׁ֗ית עִם־כַּלְבֵ֥י צֹאנִֽ⁠י

which/who disdained fathers,them to,put with dogs flock,my

The implications of this statement is that the fathers of the young men who now laugh at Job were shiftless and incompetent. This could mean: (1) that Job would not employ these men to do even such menial tasks as shepherd dogs do. Alternate translation: “whose fathers I could not even employ to do menial tasks” (2) that Job would not specifically employ these men as shepherds for his flocks, working with his sheepdogs. Alternate translation: “whose fathers I would not even employ as shepherds”
