Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
לֹֽא־תְ֭סֻלֶּה בְּכֶ֣תֶם אוֹפִ֑יר
not valued in/on/at/with,gold ʼŌfīr
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “One cannot measure the value of wisdom with the gold of Ophir”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
בְּשֹׁ֖הַם יָקָ֣ר וְסַפִּֽיר
in/on/at/with,onyx precious and,sapphire
Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “nor is it valued with precious onyx or sapphire” or “nor can one measure its value with precious onyx or sapphire”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
בְּשֹׁ֖הַם יָקָ֣ר וְסַפִּֽיר
in/on/at/with,onyx precious and,sapphire
An onyx is a valuable gemstone that comes in many colors but is best known in its black color. If your readers would not be familiar with what an onyx is, in your translation you could use the name of a similar gemstone that they would recognize, or you could use a general expression. See how you translated the term “sapphire” in 28:6. Alternate translation: “with valuable black or blue gemstones”
28:1-28 This section is a self-contained speech. No speaker is listed, so it could be a continuation of the preceding words. However, some consider this a poetic interlude by the author of Job that sums up the argument to this point, emphasizes the failure of human wisdom, and lays the foundation for the Lord’s speeches.

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.
