22:29 This difficult text probably conveys the effectiveness of a righteous man’s prayer. The principle (Pss 34:15, 17; 145:18; Prov 15:8, 29; Jas 5:16) is illustrated throughout Scripture (see, e.g., Gen 18:23-32; 19:29; 20:7, 17; 32:28; Exod 9:28-32; 17:11; 32:10-14; Rom 5:19).

הִ֭שְׁפִּילוּ וַתֹּ֣אמֶר גֵּוָ֑ה

Eliphaz is speaking as if people might literally cast Job down, that is, throw him down from a height or throw him onto the ground. He is also speaking as if Job might ask God to lift him up from where people had thrown him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you are in difficult circumstances and you say, ‘Help me!’”

Note 6 topic: translate-symaction
וְשַׁ֖ח עֵינַ֣יִם
and,humble eyes
In this culture, lowering one’s eyes was a symbolic action that indicated that one was in difficult circumstances and felt humbled by them.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
