Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לָשׂ֣וּם שְׁפָלִ֣ים לְמָר֑וֹם וְ֝קֹדְרִ֗ים שָׂ֣גְבוּ יֶֽשַׁע׃
to,sets lowly on,high and,mourn lifted (Some words not found in UHB: to,sets lowly on,high and,mourn lifted safety )
Eliphaz is speaking as if God would literally put lowly people and people who are mourning in high places. He means that God will protect them and honor them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “God honors lowly people and protects people who are mourning”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
שְׁפָלִ֣ים
lowly
Eliphaz is using the adjective lowly as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “lowly people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
יֶֽשַׁע׃
(Some words not found in UHB: to,sets lowly on,high and,mourn lifted safety )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of safety, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “where they are safe”
5:9-16 Eliphaz’s doxology praised God as the wonder-working Creator and Sustainer of the universe (5:9-10) and as the righteous Judge who brings down the powerful and lifts up the poor (5:11-16).
OET (OET-RV) ⇔ God helps the humble to prosper,
