Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
שָׁלַף֮ וַיֵּצֵ֪א מִגֵּ֫וָ֥ה וּ֭בָרָק מִֽמְּרֹרָת֥וֹ יַהֲלֹ֗ךְ עָלָ֥יו אֵמִֽים
drawn_forth and=he/it_went_out of,back and,glittering_point out_of,liver,his come on/upon/above=him/it terrors
Zophar is continuing to speak as if someone had shot an arrow into the wicked person he is describing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The wicked person realizes that the danger that has overtaken him is going to destroy him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וּ֭בָרָק
and,glittering_point
Zophar is using the term gleaming by association to mean an arrow whose metal point gleams in the sunlight. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the point of the arrow”
Note 3 topic: translate-plural
עָלָ֥יו אֵמִֽים
on/upon/above=him/it terrors
Zophar could be using the plural form Terrors in an intensive sense to mean the worst of terrors, that is, death, as in 18:14. Alternate translation: “He is terrified because he realizes that he is going to die”
20:25 terrors of death: Although the words “of death” are not in the Hebrew, they are implied because the arrowhead glistens with blood (literally with gall), indicating a deadly hit on a vital organ (6:4; 16:13; Ps 7:12).
OET (OET-LV) He_will_draw_[it]_out and_he/it_went_out of_back and_glittering_point out_of_liver_his it_will_come on/upon/above_him/it terrors.
OET (OET-RV) They pull them through and out their backs.
⇔ The tips have shiny liver on them—terrors come over them.
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.
