אֲנָשִׁ֑ים

Here the masculine term men has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “all people”

לֹֽא־יִ֝רְאֶ֗ה כָּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵֽב
not he/it_will_see all/each/any/every wise heart
Elihu does not mean that God is not pleased when people become wise. He means that God would not show favoritism to a person who was particularly wise compared with other people, because compared with God’s infinite wisdom, all people have only a little wisdom You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “He does not respect any person more than he respects other people, no matter how wise that person might be by human standards”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
חַכְמֵי־לֵֽב
wise heart
As in 34:10, here the heart represents the understanding. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the wise in understanding”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
כָּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵֽב
all/each/any/every wise heart
Elihu is using the adjective wise 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: “any people who are wise of heart” or “any people who are able to understand things wisely”

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.
