Exegesis
The final lamo {לָֽמוֹ | lāmô} anchors the second negated clause to the sons (“in reference to them”), and English renders this as “about them” to keep the relational force without over-specifying whether “he” is dead, absent, or otherwise unable to perceive.
In context — Job 14:21
His sons may be honored, but he does not know; and they may be brought low, but he does not understand about them.
