Job 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. Job is drawing a comparison. Alternate translation: “Just as drought and heat strip away the waters of snow, so Sheol strips away those who have sinned.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִגְזְל֥וּ מֵֽימֵי־שֶׁ֗לֶג

snatch_away waters snow

Job is speaking as if, in the hot season, Drought and heat literally strip away the waters in his arid region that come from melting snow in the mountains. He means that the heat makes these waters evaporate. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “make water from melted snow evaporate”
