Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
יְֽ֭בַעֲתֻהוּ צַ֣ר וּמְצוּקָ֑ה
terrify,him distress and,anguish
Eliphaz is speaking of Distress and anguish as if they were living things that could terrify a wicked person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He is so afraid of what is going to happen to him that he continually feels distress and anguish”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
יְֽ֭בַעֲתֻהוּ צַ֣ר וּמְצוּקָ֑ה
terrify,him distress and,anguish
The terms Distress and anguish mean similar things. Eliphaz is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “Great distress terrifies him” or “He is so afraid of what is going to happen to him that he continually feels great distress”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
תִּ֝תְקְפֵ֗הוּ
overpower,him
The pronoun it refers to Distress and anguish. Eliphaz is speaking of these two similar things as if they were one thing. Your language may permit you to do that in your translation. Alternatively, it may be more natural in your language to use a plural pronoun. Alternate translation: “they overpower him”
15:20-35 The wicked also suffer everything that happened to Job (see 1:16-19)—attacks by marauders (15:21), loss of possessions (15:29), crumbled houses (15:28), and fire (15:30, 34).
