⇔ ≈and he knows where it lives,

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֱ֭לֹהִים הֵבִ֣ין דַּרְכָּ֑⁠הּ וְ֝⁠ה֗וּא יָדַ֥ע אֶת־מְקוֹמָֽ⁠הּ

ʼElohīm he/it_understood way_of,it and=he knowing DOM place_of,its

Job is continuing to speak as if wisdom could literally be found in a place and that there was a way to get there. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God understands how humans can obtain wisdom, yes, he knows how they can become wise”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

דַּרְכָּ֑⁠הּ

way_of,it

Job is using this possessive form to describe not the way that wisdom takes but the way that leads to wisdom. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the way that leads to wisdom”

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.

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
