UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מוּסַ֣ר כְּלִמָּתִ֣⁠י

rebuke insults,me

Zophar is using this possessive form to describe a rebuke that he feels has brought dishonor to him. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “a rebuke that dishonors me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ֝⁠ר֗וּחַ מִֽ⁠בִּינָתִ֥⁠י יַעֲנֵֽ⁠נִי

and=spirit beyond,understanding,my answers,me

Zophar is speaking as if there were a spirit in his understanding that could answer him, that is, show him how to respond to Job. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but I have had a good idea that enables me to understand how I should respond”
