18:5 This segment is about ‘the wicked man’ (somewhat general, but also obviously referring to Iyyov), but we’ve generalised it into ‘wicked people’ as being more relevant to the average reader (of both sexes).

Bildad is speaking of the happiness and prosperity of a wicked person as if those things were literally a light or flame. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “any happiness or prosperity that wicked people enjoy will not last for very long”

רְשָׁעִ֣ים
wicked
Bildad is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a certain group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “wicked people” or, since Bildad uses the singular his later in the verse, “a wicked person”
18:5 The light of the wicked will be snuffed out could be a metaphor for a life of confused darkness (Prov 4:19); more likely, it indicates an early death (Prov 13:9; 24:20).

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.
