Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
קוֹל־פְּחָדִ֥ים בְּאָזְנָ֑יו
sound/voice terrifying in/on/at/with,ears,his
Eliphaz is using the term ears by association to mean hearing. By saying that the wicked person hears the sound of terrors, Eliphaz means by association that he experiences those terrors. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He experiences terrible things”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
בַּ֝שָּׁל֗וֹם
in/on/at/with,prosperity
The word translated prosperity can also mean “peace.” Eliphaz could be describing: (1) how wicked people may become prosperous for a time. Alternate translation: “though he may become prosperous,” (2) how wicked people may enjoy peace for a time. Alternate translation: “just when he is at peace,”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
שׁוֹדֵ֥ד יְבוֹאֶֽנּוּ
destroyer come,him
Eliphaz is describing how the wicked experience the destruction and loss of their property, and he is speaking of that destruction as if it were a living thing that comes upon the wicked. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “his property is suddenly destroyed” or “he suddenly loses his property”
15:21 Although Eliphaz generalized the terror that the wicked experience, Job had undergone similar experiences (3:25; 6:4; 9:34; 13:11, 21; 23:15; 27:20; 30:15). Bildad (18:11, 14) and Zophar (20:25) spoke of more terror to come.
• The Sabeans and Chaldeans were examples of the destroyer (1:13-17), but this could refer to any destructive agent (1:18-19). Destroyers might be agents of Satan (1 Cor 10:10; Rev 9:11) or divine agents that punish wickedness (Exod 12:23; 2 Sam 24:16; 2 Chr 32:21; Acts 12:23; Heb 11:28). Eliphaz meant the latter.
