OET (OET-LV) The_removes mountains and_not they_know [the_one]_who overturns_them in/on/at/with_anger_his.
OET (OET-RV) He takes down mountains and they don’t even know who is overturning them with his anger.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
הַמַּעְתִּ֣יק הָ֭רִים
the,removes mountains
When Job refers to God removing mountains, he is likely describing earthquakes. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly in your translation, as the UST does.
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
הַמַּעְתִּ֣יק הָ֭רִים
the,removes mountains
The pronoun one refers to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers, and it may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “God is the one who removes mountains”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
וְלֹ֣א יָדָ֑עוּ
and=not know
This could mean: (1) that the mountains do not know that God is about to remove them. In that case Job would be speaking of the mountains as if they were living things that could know something that was about to happen. (2) that people in general do not know that God is about to remove the mountains. In that case they would be an indefinite pronoun that does not have a specific referent in the immediate context. Either way, the idea is that God removes mountains without anyone or anything knowing in advance. Alternate translation: “suddenly” or “unexpectedly”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּאַפּֽוֹ
in/on/at/with,anger,his
As the General Introduction to Job discusses, Job is using the term nose to mean anger by association with the way that a person who is angry breathes heavily through his nose. Your language and culture may also associate anger with a particular part of the body. If so, you could use an expression involving that part of the body in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “in his anger”
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).

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.
