drawn_forth and=he/it_went_out of,back and,glittering_point out_of,liver,his come on/upon/above=him/it terrors

Zophar is continuing to speak as if someone had shot an arrow into the wicked person he is describing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The wicked person realizes that the danger that has overtaken him is going to destroy him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ֭⁠בָרָק

and,glittering_point

Zophar is using the term gleaming by association to mean an arrow whose metal point gleams in the sunlight. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the point of the arrow”

Note 3 topic: translate-plural

עָלָ֥י⁠ו אֵמִֽים

on/upon/above=him/it terrors

Zophar could be using the plural form Terrors in an intensive sense to mean the worst of terrors, that is, death, as in 18:14. Alternate translation: “He is terrified because he realizes that he is going to die”
