28:1-28 This section is a self-contained speech. No speaker is listed, so it could be a continuation of the preceding words. However, some consider this a poetic interlude by the author of Job that sums up the argument to this point, emphasizes the failure of human wisdom, and lays the foundation for the Lord’s speeches.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֱ֭לֹהִים הֵבִ֣ין דַּרְכָּ֑הּ וְ֝ה֗וּא יָדַ֥ע אֶת־מְקוֹמָֽהּ
ʼElhīmv he/it_understood way,it and=he knowing DOM place,its
Job is continuing to speak as if wisdom could literally be found in a place and that there was a way to get there. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God understands how humans can obtain wisdom, yes, he knows how they can become wise”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
דַּרְכָּ֑הּ
way,it
Job is using this possessive form to describe not the way that wisdom takes but the way that leads to wisdom. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the way that leads to wisdom”
