uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְֽ֭⁠נֶעֶלְמָה מֵ⁠עֵינֵ֣י כָל־חָ֑י וּ⁠מֵ⁠ע֖וֹף הַ⁠שָּׁמַ֣יִם נִסְתָּֽרָה

and,hidden from,eyes_of all living_(creature) and,from,birds_of the=heavens concealed

If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The eyes of no living thing can see it; not even the birds of the heavens can spot it”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

מֵ⁠עֵינֵ֣י

from,eyes_of

Job is using one part of a living thing, its eyes, to mean all of it in the act of seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from the sight of”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

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.
