מִבֹּ֣קֶר לָעֶ֣רֶב
(Some words not found in UHB: from,morning to,evening destroyed from,not_of regarding to,perpetuity perish )
Eliphaz is using the beginning and ending of a day, morning and evening, to mean an entire day. (He means within the space of a day, not throughout a whole day.) If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [Within a single day]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
יֻכַּ֑תּוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: from,morning to,evening destroyed from,not_of regarding to,perpetuity perish )
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context suggests that it is God. Alternate translation: [God destroys them]

OET (OET-RV) They’re destroyed from morning to evening.
⇔ They’re always dying even without anyone doing anything.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
