Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
חֲכַ֣ם לֵ֭בָב
wise heart
The pronoun He refers to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “God is wise in heart”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
חֲכַ֣ם לֵ֭בָב וְאַמִּ֣יץ כֹּ֑חַ
wise heart and,mighty ability
Here, the heart represents the thoughts. Alternate translation: “God’s thoughts are wise and he is mighty in strength”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
וְאַמִּ֣יץ כֹּ֑חַ
and,mighty ability
The terms mighty and strength mean similar things. Job is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “and very strong”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מִֽי־הִקְשָׁ֥ה אֵ֝לָ֗יו וַיִּשְׁלָֽם
who? resisted to=him/it and,succeeded
Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “No person has ever hardened himself against God and been whole!”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
הִקְשָׁ֥ה אֵ֝לָ֗יו
resisted to=him/it
Job is likely referring to bringing charges against God when he speaks of a person who has hardened himself against God, since a person who brings charges has determined not to show mercy. Rather, that person has decided to demand justice. You could indicate this in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “has brought charges against him”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיִּשְׁלָֽם
and,succeeded
By whole, Job probably means not suffering any damages, that is, winning a court case and having the other party pay compensation, rather than having to pay compensation oneself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and won the case”
9:1-35 Job responded to Bildad by describing God’s cosmic and judicial power. His speech sounds like a complicated legal case, with a summons and response (9:3, 14-16, 19b, 32), the possibility of self-incrimination (9:20), an arbiter (9:33-34), an accusatory question (9:12), a legal sentence (9:22), and a declaration of guilt (9:28-30).
