UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מְתֵי־שָׁ֑וְא

men worthless

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of worthlessness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “which people are worthless”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וַ⁠יַּרְא־אָ֝֗וֶן וְ⁠לֹ֣א יִתְבּוֹנָֽן

and=he/it_saw iniquity and=not consider

Zophar is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “and he will surely notice iniquity when he sees it.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִתְבּוֹנָֽן

consider

The term notice implicitly means that God will do more than just take note of iniquity. It indicates that God will punish people for committing iniquity. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “punish people for it”
