shake_off like_the,vine unripe_grape,his and,cast_off like_the,olive_tree blossoms,his

The point of these comparisons is that the wicked person will not be able to succeed in his endeavors. They will all end in failure, just as a grapevine may not be able to nourish its grapes and so they will fall off while they are still unripe, and just as an olive tree might lose its blossoms due to cold weather in the spring and not bear any fruit that year. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “His endeavors will fail, as if he were a grapevine that lost its grapes because it could not nourish them or an olive tree that bore no fruit because it shed its blossoms due to cold weather in the spring”

Eliphaz speaks as if the grapevine itself would shake off its grapes and as if the olive tree itself would cast off its blossoms. He means that the grapes will drop from the vine and the blossoms will fall off the tree. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He will be like a grapevine whose grapes drop off and an olive tree whose blossoms fall off”
