on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in right,my lie incurable wound,my without transgression

If you decided in the previous verse to translate this quotation in such a way that there would not be a quotation within a quotation, you can continue doing that here. Alternate translation: “Job has said that he would not lie about his justice and that his arrow is incurable, without transgression”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

עַל־מִשְׁפָּטִ֥⁠י אֲכַזֵּ֑ב

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in right,my lie

In this quotation by Elihu, Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “I would not lie about my justice!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עַל־מִשְׁפָּטִ֥⁠י אֲכַזֵּ֑ב

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in right,my lie

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of justice, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “I would not lie about whether I had done the right thing!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

חִצִּ֣⁠י

wound,my

In this quotation by Elihu, Job is using the term arrow by association to mean a wound from an arrow. (Elihu is referring back to what Job said in 16:13 about God’s archers fatally wounding him with arrows.) If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “My wound”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

בְלִי־פָֽשַׁע

without transgression

In this quotation by Elihu, 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: “even though I am without transgression”
