Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לֹא־יַאֲמִ֣ין שׁ֭וּב מִנִּי־חֹ֑שֶׁךְ
not believe return from darkness
Eliphaz is speaking as if this wicked person has literally gone to a place where there is darkness and as if that wicked person does not believe that he can return from there. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He does not believe that his troubles will ever end”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
לֹא־יַאֲמִ֣ין שׁ֭וּב מִנִּי־חֹ֑שֶׁךְ
not believe return from darkness
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this with a positive expression. Alternate translation: “He believes that he will always have troubles”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְצָפ֖וּי & ה֣וּא אֱלֵי־חָֽרֶב
(Some words not found in UHB: not believe return from darkness and,destined he/it for sword )
It is possible that this second part of the verse also describes what wicked people believe. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and he is afraid that he is selected for the sword”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְצָפ֖וּי ה֣וּא אֱלֵי־חָֽרֶב
(Some words not found in UHB: not believe return from darkness and,destined he/it for sword )
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and God has selected him for the sword” or “and God has determined that someone will kill him with a sword”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
חָֽרֶב
sword
Eliphaz is using one kind of deadly weapon, the sword, by association to mean violent death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “violent death”
15:22 for fear they will be murdered (literally he is marked for the sword): The wicked might be killed by murder or by the sword of God’s wrath.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
