Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
כַּמָּ֤ה ׀ נֵר־רְשָׁ֘עִ֤ים יִדְעָ֗ךְ וְיָבֹ֣א עָלֵ֣ימוֹ אֵידָ֑ם חֲ֝בָלִ֗ים יְחַלֵּ֥ק בְּאַפּֽוֹ
as,the_how_often? lamp_of wicked put_out and,come upon,them calamity_of,their pains apportion in/on/at/with,anger_of,his
Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: [The lamp of the wicked does not often go out! No, their calamity does not come upon them often! God does not distribute pains to them in his anger!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
כַּמָּ֤ה ׀ נֵר־רְשָׁ֘עִ֤ים יִדְעָ֗ךְ
as,the_how_often? lamp_of wicked put_out
Job is speaking as if wicked people literally had a lamp that might go out or stop burning. He is using this image to represent them dying. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [How often do the wicked die]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְיָבֹ֣א עָלֵ֣ימוֹ אֵידָ֑ם
and,come upon,them calamity_of,their
Job is speaking as if calamity were literally an object that comes upon people. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [or how often do they experience their calamity]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
אֵידָ֑ם
calamity_of,their
It might seem that the expression their calamity contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [calamity]
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
חֲ֝בָלִ֗ים יְחַלֵּ֥ק בְּאַפּֽוֹ
pains apportion in/on/at/with,anger_of,his
The pronouns his and he refer to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Does God distribute pains to them in his anger]
