תַּ֤חַת חִטָּ֨ה ׀ יֵ֥צֵא ח֗וֹחַ וְתַֽחַת־שְׂעֹרָ֥ה בָאְשָׁ֑ה
below/instead_of wheat grow thorns and,instead_of barley stinkweed
Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “may a thorn grow instead of wheat, and may a weed grow instead of barley”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
תַּ֤חַת חִטָּ֨ה ׀ יֵ֥צֵא ח֗וֹחַ וְתַֽחַת־שְׂעֹרָ֥ה בָאְשָׁ֑ה
below/instead_of wheat grow thorns and,instead_of barley stinkweed
Job is not referring to a specific thorn or to a specific weed. He means thorns and weeds in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “may thorns grow instead of wheat, and may weeds grow instead of barley”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
תַּ֝֗מּוּ דִּבְרֵ֥י אִיּֽוֹב
ended words ʼIyyōⱱ
The narrator is using the term words to mean what Job has been saying by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “This is the end of what Job said”
