Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אַל־תֵּ֣פֶן אֶל־אָ֑וֶן
not turn to/towards iniquity
Elihu is speaking as if sin were in a particular direction and Job might literally turn towards that direction. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “do not commit sin”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מֵעֹֽנִי
by,affliction
Elihu is using the term affliction by association to mean God’s correction. (Elihu said in verses 8–10 and 15 that God used affliction to correct people.) If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “rather than accepting the correction that God is bringing to you through affliction”
