Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וּ⁠מָשַׁ֣ךְ אַבִּירִ֣ים בְּ⁠כֹח֑⁠וֹ

and,drags_away mighty in/on/at/with,power,his

In this first part of the verse, the pronouns he and his refer to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “But God drags away the mighty by his power”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מָשַׁ֣ךְ

and,drags_away

Job is speaking as if God literally drags away people who are mighty. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “But he destroys”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

אַבִּירִ֣ים

mighty

Job is using the adjective mighty as a noun to mean a certain group of people. 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 4 topic: writing-pronouns

יָ֝ק֗וּם וְֽ⁠לֹא־יַאֲמִ֥ין בַּֽ⁠חַיִּֽין

rises_up and=not have_~_assurance in/on/at/with,life

Interpreters are uncertain as to whom the pronoun he refers in the two instances in the second part of this verse. This could mean: (1) that God arises against mighty people, so that each one of them realizes that he is doomed. Alternate translation: “God arises against them, so that each one of them despairs of life” (2) that a wicked person arises or prospers for a time, but he has no assurance of a long life. Alternate translation: “a wicked person may prosper for a time, but he has no assurance of a long life”
