Job 27:5

Hebrew
חָלִ֣ילָה לִּי֮ אִם אַצְדִּ֪יק אֶ֫תְכֶ֥םplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigאֵת

hebrew

The Hebrew אֵת word does not have a corresponding word in English. In Hebrew, it is a marker of the accusative, i.e. the word following it is the object of the sentence.

For example, in Genesis 1:1 the word is preceded by בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים (
עַד אֶגְוָ֑ע לֹא אָסִ֖יר תֻּמָּתִ֣י מִמֶּֽנִּי
ESV
Far be it from me to say that you are right; till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
NIV
I will never admit you are in the right; till I die, I will not deny my integrity.
NLT
I will never concede that you are right; I will defend my integrity until I die.
LXX
