if it_will_ascend to_the,heavens arrogance,his and=his/its=head/top to_the,clouds touches
Zophar is speaking as if a wicked person might literally become so tall that his head would be at the same level as cloud in the skies. He means that a wicked person might become very prosperous and powerful. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Though a wicked person may become very prosperous and powerful”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
לָעָ֥ב
to_the,clouds
Zophar is not referring to a specific cloud. He means the many clouds that appear in the sky. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “to the clouds”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
