# they lifted up their eyes

This is an idiom that means "they looked intently" or "they looked carefully." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# they did not recognize him

This probably means that Job's visitors did not recognize him at first, when they saw him at a distance. Job looked very different than usual because of his grief and because of the sores covering his body. Alternate translation: "they barely recognized him"

# They raised their voices and wept

Here "raised their voices" is an idiom that means they became loud. Alternate translation: "They wept out loud" or "They wept loudly" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# tore his robe

This was a sign of mourning. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction]])

# threw dust into the air and upon his own head
