וְשִׁית־עַל־עָפָ֥ר בָּ֑צֶר וּבְצ֖וּר נְחָלִ֣ים אוֹפִֽיר
and,treat on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in dust gold and,in/on/at/with,stones wadis gold_of_ʼŌfīr
Eliphaz is using an imperative sentence to tell the condition under which something would happen. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could translate this as a conditional sentence. Alternate translation: “Now if you set your gold in the dust, and Ophir among the stones of the torrents”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְשִׁית־עַל־עָפָ֥ר בָּ֑צֶר וּבְצ֖וּר נְחָלִ֣ים אוֹפִֽיר
and,treat on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in dust gold and,in/on/at/with,stones wadis gold_of_ʼŌfīr
Eliphaz is speaking as if he wants Job literally to throw away his gold, including the fine gold he has from the land of Ophir, so that it lands in the dust and among the stones of the torrents. He means that Job should not depend on gold as a source of security. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation, combining the parallel statements into a single statement and conveying the emphasis of the parallelism in another way: “Now if you do not rely on gold at all”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וְשִׁית־עַל־עָפָ֥ר בָּ֑צֶר וּבְצ֖וּר נְחָלִ֣ים אוֹפִֽיר

Eliphaz is using one type of wealth, gold, including fine gold from Ophir, to mean wealth in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And abandon all of your wealth” or “Now if you do not rely on wealth at all”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
אוֹפִֽיר
gold_of_ʼŌfīr
The word Ophir is the name of a land that produced gold of excellent quality.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
אוֹפִֽיר
gold_of_ʼŌfīr

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אוֹפִֽיר
gold_of_ʼŌfīr
Eliphaz is using the name Ophir by association to mean gold from the country of Ophir. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “set the gold of Ophir”
