Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וְה֤וּא מִלֵּ֣א בָתֵּיהֶ֣ם ט֑וֹב
and=he filled houses,their good
The pronoun he refers to God. Eliphaz is echoing what Job said about wicked people in 21:16, “their prosperity is not in their hand,” that is, their prosperity is not of their own making. Eliphaz is saying, as Job did, that any good the wicked enjoy is something that God has generously given to them even though they do not deserve it. Eliphaz is agreeing with Job on that point, although he is making it in support of a different conclusion, that in the end, God actually does punish the wicked in this life. Alternate translation: “Yet God filled their houses with good”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
וְה֤וּא מִלֵּ֣א בָתֵּיהֶ֣ם ט֑וֹב
and=he filled houses,their good
Eliphaz is using the adjective good as a noun to mean a certain kind of thing. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “Yet he filled their houses with good things”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
וְה֤וּא מִלֵּ֣א בָתֵּיהֶ֣ם ט֑וֹב
and=he filled houses,their good
Eliphaz says filled here as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “Yet he generously gave them many good things”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַעֲצַ֥ת רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים רָ֣חֲקָה מֶֽנִּי
and,counsel wicked repugnant from,me
Eliphaz is echoing what Job said in 21:16. He is speaking as if he wanted the counsel of the wicked literally to be far away from him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expression in 21:16. Alternate translation: “so I want nothing to do with the counsel of the wicked”
22:18 I will have nothing to do with that kind of thinking: Eliphaz threw Job’s words back at him (21:16b).
OET (OET-LV) And_he he_filled houses_their good_thing[s] and_counsel of_wicked_[people] it_is_far from_me.
OET (OET-RV) But he had filled their houses with good things,
⇔ and I keep far away from the advice of wicked people.
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.
