UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

עֵ֭ינָי⁠ו & יִרְאֶֽה

eyes,his & sees

The first instance of the pronoun his and the pronoun he refer to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “God’s eyes … God sees”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

עֵ֭ינָי⁠ו עַל

eyes,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in

Elihu is using one part of God, his eyes, to mean all of him in the act of seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he looks upon”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

דַּרְכֵי־אִ֑ישׁ וְֽ⁠כָל־צְעָדָ֥י⁠ו

ways (a)_man and=all steps,his

Elihu is speaking of how a person lives as if that were a way or path that the person was taking steps along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “how a person lives, and … everything that he does”
