or (Some words not found in UHB: or darkness not you(ms)_will_see and,an_abundance_of waters it,will_cover_you )

Eliphaz is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [And that is why you are in darkness and cannot see]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

or (Some words not found in UHB: or darkness not you(ms)_will_see and,an_abundance_of waters it,will_cover_you )

Eliphaz is speaking as if Job were literally in darkness and could not see anything. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And that is why your troubles are so great that you do not know what to do about them]
