Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “The wicked should not live, grow old, and become mighty in power!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
רְשָׁעִ֣ים
wicked
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, here, as in several other places in the chapter, Job is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a certain group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “wicked people”
