Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

?,says to,king worthless wicked to/towards nobles

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “the one telling a king that he is worthless and telling nobles that they are wicked”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לְ⁠מֶ֣לֶךְ

to,king

Elihu is not referring to a specific king. He means kings in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “to kings”
