וּמָשַׁ֣ךְ אַבִּירִ֣ים בְּכֹח֑וֹ
and,drags_away mighty in/on/at/with,power,his
In this first part of the verse, the pronouns he and his refer to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “But God drags away the mighty by his power”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּמָשַׁ֣ךְ
and,drags_away
Job is speaking as if God literally drags away people who are mighty. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “But he destroys”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
אַבִּירִ֣ים
mighty
Job is using the adjective mighty as a noun to mean a certain group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “mighty people”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
יָ֝ק֗וּם וְֽלֹא־יַאֲמִ֥ין בַּֽחַיִּֽין
rises_up and=not have_~_assurance in/on/at/with,life
Interpreters are uncertain as to whom the pronoun he refers in the two instances in the second part of this verse. This could mean: (1) that God arises against mighty people, so that each one of them realizes that he is doomed. Alternate translation: “God arises against them, so that each one of them despairs of life” (2) that a wicked person arises or prospers for a time, but he has no assurance of a long life. Alternate translation: “a wicked person may prosper for a time, but he has no assurance of a long life”
24:18-24 These sentiments appear to oppose Job’s observations, so some scholars suggest that they were the words of Bildad or Zophar. However, Job might have been pronouncing curses on the wicked, sarcastically quoting his friends’ views, or saying that the fate of the wicked presented by Eliphaz (5:2-7; 15:17-25), Bildad (8:8-19; 18:5-21), and Zophar (20:4-29) also overtakes the righteous (21:23-26).
