UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֱ֭לֹהִים הֵבִ֣ין דַּרְכָּ֑⁠הּ וְ֝⁠ה֗וּא יָדַ֥ע אֶת־מְקוֹמָֽ⁠הּ

ʼₑlhīmv he/it_understood way,it and=he knowing DOM place,its

Job is continuing to speak as if wisdom could literally be found in a place and that there was a way to get there. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God understands how humans can obtain wisdom, yes, he knows how they can become wise”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

דַּרְכָּ֑⁠הּ

way,it

Job is using this possessive form to describe not the way that wisdom takes but the way that leads to wisdom. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the way that leads to wisdom”
