UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

כִּֽי־חֵ֭מָה פֶּן־יְסִֽיתְ⁠ךָ֣

that/for/because/then/when severe_anger lest entice,you

Elihu is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “For there is wrath, so beware lest it entice you” or “For you are angry, so beware lest your anger entice you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְ⁠סָ֑פֶק

in/on/at/with,scoffing

Elihu is using the term clapping by association to mean derision, since the people in this culture clapped their hands in order to express derision, as 27:23 and 34:37 indicate. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “into mocking God”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וְ⁠רָב־כֹּ֝֗פֶר אַל־יַטֶּֽ⁠ךָּ

and,greatness ransom not turn_~_aside,you

It may be more natural in your language to express the meaning here by using a form other than a possessive form. Alternate translation: “and no ransom, no matter how great, will deliver you”
