Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

יִשְׁלָ֤יוּ אֹֽהָלִ֨ים ׀ לְ⁠שֹׁ֥דְדִ֗ים

at_peace tents of,robbers

Job is speaking of the tents of these robbers as if they were living things that could prosper. By referring to one valuable possession of the robbers, Job means that the robbers themselves prosper. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Robbers live in prosperity”

Note 2 topic: translate-plural

וּֽ֭⁠בַטֻּחוֹת

and,secure

Job is using the plural form securities to indicate that these provokers of God experience security to a supreme extent. Your language may use plural forms in the same way. If not, you could express the meaning in another way. Alternate translation: “and complete security is”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לַ⁠אֲשֶׁ֤ר הֵבִ֖יא אֱל֣וֹהַּ בְּ⁠יָדֽ⁠וֹ

to,who he/it_brought god in=his/its=hand

Here, hand represents the power and control that a person has over something. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “to the person who thinks that he has God in his pocket” or “to the person who thinks he has more control over his life than God does”
