UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

עִ֭מּ⁠וֹ חָכְמָ֣ה וּ⁠גְבוּרָ֑ה ל֝֗⁠וֹ עֵצָ֥ה וּ⁠תְבוּנָֽה

with=him/it wisdom and,strength to=him/it counsel and,understanding

The pronoun him refers in each instance to God. Job is no longer referring to an “aged” person, as in the previous verse. Instead, he is describing what he knows about God as someone who has lived a long time and acquired much wisdom. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “I know that God has wisdom and might; I know that God has counsel and understanding”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עִ֭מּ⁠וֹ חָכְמָ֣ה וּ⁠גְבוּרָ֑ה ל֝֗⁠וֹ עֵצָ֥ה וּ⁠תְבוּנָֽה

with=him/it wisdom and,strength to=him/it counsel and,understanding

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of wisdom, might, counsel, and understanding, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “God is wise and mighty; he understands everything and knows what to do”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עִ֭מּ⁠וֹ חָכְמָ֣ה וּ⁠גְבוּרָ֑ה ל֝֗⁠וֹ עֵצָ֥ה וּ⁠תְבוּנָֽה

with=him/it wisdom and,strength to=him/it counsel and,understanding

As the following verses make clear, Job is saying implicitly that these qualities belong to God alone and that God does not share them with humans. In that sense, while it sounds as if Job is praising God, at the same time, Job is also complaining somewhat about God. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “God has so much knowledge and power that no human can resist him; God does not explain to anyone how he understands a situation or what he is going to do about it”
