Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
תָּב֣וֹא & אֱלֵי־קָ֑בֶר
come & to grave
Eliphaz is using the expression come to the grave to mean “die.” This is a poetic way of referring to death. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “You will depart this world”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כַּעֲל֖וֹת גָּדִ֣ישׁ בְּעִתּֽוֹ
as,gathered stack_of_sheaves in/on/at/with,season,its
The point of this comparison is that when Job’s time comes to die, he will have lived a full and rewarding life, just as a stack of grain that is harvested in its time is ripe and fully developed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “mature and accomplished, like grain that is harvested at the peak of ripeness”
5:19-26 six disasters . . . even in the seventh: This wisdom formula reflects a sense of completeness (cp. Prov 30:15-31).
• This list reflects Mosaic covenant blessings and curses (Lev 26; Deut 28). Eliphaz thought that people in right relationship with God would be free from famine (Job 5:20, 22; see Lev 26:4-5, 10; Deut 28:4-6, 8, 11-12), war (i.e., death, Job 5:20) and the destruction it causes (5:21, 22; see Lev 26:6-8; Deut 28:7, 48), and slander. They will even be at peace with wild animals (Job 5:23; see Lev 26:6) and the stones of the field. This peace might indicate fertile rather than stony fields (2 Kgs 3:19, 25; Matt 13:5), or it might symbolize wider harmony with the natural world (see Ps 91:11-12).
