וְלֹ֣א יִמְאָ֑ס
and=not despise
Elihu is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. He is probably responding to what Job said to God in 10:3, “you … despise the work of your hands.” If that would be clearer in your language, you can supply these words from the context, specifically from verse 2, where Elihu speaks of God as his “Maker.” Alternate translation: “and he does not despise any of the people whom he has made”

כַּ֝בִּ֗יר כֹּ֣חַֽ לֵֽב

Elihu 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: “he is also mighty in that he is strong in heart”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
כַּ֝בִּ֗יר כֹּ֣חַֽ לֵֽב
mighty strength understanding
Here the heart represents the mind or understanding. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he is also mighty in that he has great understanding”
OET (OET-RV) ⇔ Listen, God is very powerful but he doesn’t despise people.
⇔ ≈He’s powerful and knows exactly what he wants.
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.
