UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֹֽא־תְ֭סֻלֶּה בְּ⁠כֶ֣תֶם אוֹפִ֑יר

not valued in/on/at/with,gold ʼŌfīr

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “One cannot measure the value of wisdom with the gold of Ophir”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

בְּ⁠שֹׁ֖הַם יָקָ֣ר וְ⁠סַפִּֽיר

in/on/at/with,onyx precious and,sapphire

Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “nor is it valued with precious onyx or sapphire” or “nor can one measure its value with precious onyx or sapphire”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

בְּ⁠שֹׁ֖הַם יָקָ֣ר וְ⁠סַפִּֽיר

in/on/at/with,onyx precious and,sapphire

An onyx is a valuable gemstone that comes in many colors but is best known in its black color. If your readers would not be familiar with what an onyx is, in your translation you could use the name of a similar gemstone that they would recognize, or you could use a general expression. See how you translated the term “sapphire” in 28:6. Alternate translation: “with valuable black or blue gemstones”
