Sunt et vincula corporea, fames, sitis, et hujusmodi quæ hic nequeunt solvi: sed et ab omnibus in libertate gloriæ filiorum Dei solventur. Vide gradus: impii conversi cessant; exercitati in intimo sinu quiescunt; a vinculis corruptionis absoluti ad libertatem perveniunt. Sed quid hic interim egerint, subdit: Qui non audierunt, etc. Exactor diabolus, qui semel nummum deceptionis homini contulit, et quotidie debitum mortis exigit, vox ejus est tentatio. Audit qui tentatur, et resistit: exaudit qui consentit. Idem de interna pace, quia quod mens valde amat, sæpius replicat.

3:1-26 Job’s outburst did not mean that his integrity had cracked under the strain (42:7-8; Jas 5:11). Elijah and Jeremiah, both godly men, used the same hyperbolic language (1 Kgs 19:4; Jer 20:14-18).
Complaints
The Bible generally depicts complaining as wrong. For example, God judged the Israelites for grumbling about their hardships in the wilderness (Num 14:27-37). Job complained mightily and earned God’s rebuke for it, yet God ultimately confirmed Job’s righteousness and rejected those who tried to stop him from complaining (Job 42:7-8).
Job’s fundamental complaint was that God did not give him a fair hearing to demonstrate his innocence. Job’s friends attacked him for trying to vindicate himself, but God upheld Job’s innocence. In a gracious but firm act of self-revelation, God rebuked Job for his overreaching self-defense and implied criticism of God’s fairness. God shifted Job’s focus away from his troubles and toward God himself (Job 38–41).
Scripture admonishes us to rejoice and give thanks in all situations (Eph 5:20; Phil 4:4; 1 Thes 5:16-18). It also calls us to endure through suffering and to persist in prayer (Jas 5:10-18). If we do want to complain in prayer, we should follow the pattern of the psalms, which lead us past ourselves and back to God (see, e.g., Ps 13). Job’s positive example (Jas 5:11) is not so much in how he responded to his troubles or to his comforters but in how he responded to God (Job 40:3-5; 42:1-6). In the midst of difficult and confusing situations that may precipitate a desire to complain, we can still acknowledge the sovereignty and goodness of God.

לֹ֥א שָׁ֝מְע֗וּ ק֣וֹל נֹגֵֽשׂ
not hear sound/voice taskmaster
Job is referring to the orders that a taskmaster would give Captives by association with the voice that the taskmaster would use to convey them. He is referring to the captives’ obligation to obey those orders by association with the way they would hear them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use equivalent expressions or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “no taskmaster gives them orders to follow” or “they no longer need to follow the orders of any taskmaster”
