My eye is also dim because of sorrow

Job speaks of his vision as his "eyes." Alternate translation: "My vision has become weak because I am so sad" or "I am almost blind because of my sorrow" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)

all my members are as thin as shadows

Shadows have no thickness and are infinitely thin. That is an exaggeration of how thin Job's body parts are. Alternate translation: "all my body parts are very thin" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole)

all my members

This is a generalization used to emphasize that his whole body is thin, but it probably refers specifically to his arms and legs. Alternate translation: "my arms and legs" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole)
