UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠מַּעְתִּ֣יק הָ֭רִים

the,removes mountains

When Job refers to God removing mountains, he is likely describing earthquakes. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly in your translation, as the UST does.

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

הַ⁠מַּעְתִּ֣יק הָ֭רִים

the,removes mountains

The pronoun one refers to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers, and it may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “God is the one who removes mountains”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠לֹ֣א יָדָ֑עוּ

and=not know

This could mean: (1) that the mountains do not know that God is about to remove them. In that case Job would be speaking of the mountains as if they were living things that could know something that was about to happen. (2) that people in general do not know that God is about to remove the mountains. In that case they would be an indefinite pronoun that does not have a specific referent in the immediate context. Either way, the idea is that God removes mountains without anyone or anything knowing in advance. Alternate translation: “suddenly” or “unexpectedly”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠אַפּֽ⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,anger,his

As the General Introduction to Job discusses, Job is using the term nose to mean anger by association with the way that a person who is angry breathes heavily through his nose. Your language and culture may also associate anger with a particular part of the body. If so, you could use an expression involving that part of the body in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “in his anger”
