OET (OET-LV) There these [are]_the_ends ways_his[fn] and_how a_whisper of_a_word we_hear in/on/over_him/it and_thunder power_his[fn][fn] who will_he_understand.
OET (OET-RV) Listen, those are the ends of his ways,

⇔ And who can interpret the thunder of his power?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
קְצ֬וֹת דְּרָכָ֗יו
fringes (Some words not found in UHB: see these fringes ways,his and,how faint word hear in/on/over=him/it and,thunder power,his who? understand )
Job is speaking of the things that God does as if they were ways or paths that God was walking along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “are a small part of his actions”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּמַה־שֵּׁ֣מֶץ דָּ֭בָר נִשְׁמַע־בּ֑וֹ
and,how faint word hear in/on/over=him/it
Job may be using the term word in the sense of the sound of a word, in which case the term small would indicate a faint sound or whisper. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and how faint a whisper we hear of him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְרַ֥עַם גְּ֝בוּרוֹתָ֗יו מִ֣י יִתְבּוֹנָֽן
and,thunder (Some words not found in UHB: see these fringes ways,his and,how faint word hear in/on/over=him/it and,thunder power,his who? understand )
Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “No, no one can understand the thunder of his power!”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
וְרַ֥עַם גְּ֝בוּרוֹתָ֗יו
and,thunder (Some words not found in UHB: see these fringes ways,his and,how faint word hear in/on/over=him/it and,thunder power,his who? understand )
Job is using this possessive form to describe thunder that is characterized by power. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “And his powerful thunder”
OET (OET-LV) There these [are]_the_ends ways_his[fn] and_how a_whisper of_a_word we_hear in/on/over_him/it and_thunder power_his[fn][fn] who will_he_understand.
OET (OET-RV) Listen, those are the ends of his ways,
⇔ and how we hear just a whisper of a word.
⇔ And who can interpret the thunder of his power?
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
