UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠לֹ֣א יִמְאָ֑ס

and=not despise

Elihu is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. He is probably responding to what Job said to God in 10:3, “you … despise the work of your hands.” If that would be clearer in your language, you can supply these words from the context, specifically from verse 2, where Elihu speaks of God as his “Maker.” Alternate translation: “and he does not despise any of the people whom he has made”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

כַּ֝בִּ֗יר כֹּ֣חַֽ לֵֽב

mighty strength understanding

Elihu 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: “he is also mighty in that he is strong in heart”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כַּ֝בִּ֗יר כֹּ֣חַֽ לֵֽב

mighty strength understanding

Here the heart represents the mind or understanding. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he is also mighty in that he has great understanding”
