TSNTyndale Study Notes:

9:1-35 Job responded to Bildad by describing God’s cosmic and judicial power. His speech sounds like a complicated legal case, with a summons and response (9:3, 14-16, 19b, 32), the possibility of self-incrimination (9:20), an arbiter (9:33-34), an accusatory question (9:12), a legal sentence (9:22), and a declaration of guilt (9:28-30).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶ֭צְדָּק

innocent

See how you translated the term righteous in 9:15. In this context, the term righteous implicitly describes being the unjustly injured party in a lawsuit. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I were in the right”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

פִּ֣⁠י יַרְשִׁיעֵ֑⁠נִי

mouth,my condemn,me

Job is using the term mouth to mean by association what he would say by using his mouth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what I said would condemn me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

פִּ֣⁠י יַרְשִׁיעֵ֑⁠נִי

mouth,my condemn,me

Job is speaking of his mouth as if it were a living thing that could condemn him. He means that God would condemn him for what he said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God would condemn me for what I said”
