Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יָרֹ֣עַ כַּבִּירִ֣ים
shatters mighty
Elihu is speaking as if God literally shatters mighty people or breaks them into pieces. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He punishes mighty people by taking away their power and influence”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
כַּבִּירִ֣ים
mighty
Elihu is using the adjective mighty as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. 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 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
לֹא־חֵ֑קֶר
not investigation
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of investigation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “without needing to investigate how they have been living”
34:24 God knows everything without asking anyone (34:25).
• sets up others in their place: Dan 2:21; 5:28-30.

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.
