UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הָ֭פֵץ עֶבְר֣וֹת אַפֶּ֑⁠ךָ

pour_out overflowings anger,your

Yahweh is speaking as if Job’s outbursts were objects that he could Scatter. Elihu used the same word for “scatter” in 37:11 to describe how God made lightning bolts go to various places, so the implication seems to be that Yahweh is challenging Job to direct his righteous anger against his enemies if he has the power to do that. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Direct your righteous anger against all your enemies”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

גֵּ֝אֶ֗ה

proud

Yahweh is using the adjective proud as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. The ULT adds the word one to show that. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “proud person”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הַשְׁפִּילֵֽ⁠הוּ

and,abase,him

Yahweh is speaking as if Job would literally bring an arrogant person down from a height to a lower place. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and humble him”
