MSG ^(8-16)“If I were in your shoes, I’d go straight to God,
  I’d throw myself on the mercy of God.
After all, he’s famous for great and unexpected acts;
  there’s no end to his surprises.
He gives rain, for instance, across the wide earth,
  sends water to irrigate the fields.
He raises up the down-and-out,
  gives firm footing to those sinking in grief.
He aborts the schemes of conniving crooks,
  so that none of their plots come to term.
He catches the know-it-alls in their conspiracies—
  all that intricate intrigue swept out with the trash!
Suddenly they’re disoriented, plunged into darkness;
  they can’t see to put one foot in front of the other.
But the downtrodden are saved by God,
  saved from the murderous plots, saved from the iron fist.
And so the poor continue to hope,
  while injustice is bound and gagged.

Sed ut electus supplicia evadat, et ad præmia pertingat, debet hic flagellis purgari, unde subdit:

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

חָזָ֣ק אֶבְיֽוֹן

mighty needy

Eliphaz is using the adjectives poor and mighty as nouns to mean certain kinds of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “poor people … mighty people”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מֵ֭⁠חֶרֶב מִ⁠פִּי⁠הֶ֑ם

from,sword of,mouth,their

Eliphaz is speaking as if the cunning and deceptive people he described in verse 13 literally had a sword in their mouths. He is referring to the things these people say to try to hurt the poor. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from the things they say to try to hurt them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠מִ⁠יַּ֖ד

and,from,hand

Here, hand represents the capability of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and from the power of”
