Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְיַגֶּד־לְךָ֨ ׀ תַּֽעֲלֻמ֣וֹת חָכְמָה֮
and,tell to/for=yourself(m) secrets wisdom
If you translated the beginning of this sentence in the previous verse as a statement or exclamation, translate the end of the sentence here in the same way. Alternate translation: “and declare to you the secrets of wisdom!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
כִּֽי־כִפְלַ֪יִם לְֽת֫וּשִׁיָּ֥ה
that/for/because/then/when two_sides has,true_wisdom
By it, Zophar implicitly means God’s wisdom, and by understanding, he means Job’s understanding. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “God’s wisdom is double to your understanding” or “God’s wisdom is twice as great as your understanding”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
כִּֽי־כִפְלַ֪יִם לְֽת֫וּשִׁיָּ֥ה
that/for/because/then/when two_sides has,true_wisdom
By the expression double, Zophar actually means much greater. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God’s wisdom is far greater than your understanding”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יַשֶּׁ֥ה לְךָ֥ אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַ מֵעֲוֺנֶֽךָ
forgotten to/for=yourself(m) god some_of,iniquity,your
Zophar is speaking as if God were literally forgetting some of Job’s iniquity. He means that God is overlooking some of the sins that Job has committed and so not punishing him for all of them. Zophar is not suggesting that there are limits to God’s knowledge or memory. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God is overlooking some of your iniquity” or “God is not punishing you for all of your sins”
11:5-6 punishing you . . . less than you deserve: Zophar believed that calamity indicated divine retribution for sins (cp. 34:36).
