UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

בְּ⁠שֵׁ֣שׁ צָ֭רוֹת יַצִּילֶ֑⁠ךָּ וּ⁠בְ⁠שֶׁ֓בַע ׀ לֹא־יִגַּ֖ע בְּ⁠ךָ֣ רָֽע

in/on/at/with,six troubles deliver,you and,in/on/at/with,seven not touch in/on/at/with,you harm

In order to make a comprehensive statement, Eliphaz is naming a number that should be sufficient to illustrate his point and then increasing that number by one for emphasis. This was a common device in Hebrew poetry. If a speaker of your language would not do this, in your translation you could express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “God will rescue you from every trouble and not allow you to be harmed”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠בְ⁠שֶׁ֓בַע & רָֽע

and,in/on/at/with,seven & harm

Eliphaz is leaving out a word that in many languages this sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply the word from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and in seven troubles harm”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

לֹא־יִגַּ֖ע בְּ⁠ךָ֣ רָֽע

not touch in/on/at/with,you harm

Eliphaz is speaking of harm as if it were a living thing that could touch Job. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you will not be harmed”
