WMBB (Same as above)

MSG(8-16)“If I were in your shoes, I’d go straight to God,
  I’d throw myself on the mercy of God.
After all, he’s famous for great and unexpected acts;
  there’s no end to his surprises.
He gives rain, for instance, across the wide earth,
  sends water to irrigate the fields.
He raises up the down-and-out,
  gives firm footing to those sinking in grief.
He aborts the schemes of conniving crooks,
  so that none of their plots come to term.
He catches the know-it-alls in their conspiracies—
  all that intricate intrigue swept out with the trash!
Suddenly they’re disoriented, plunged into darkness;
  they can’t see to put one foot in front of the other.
But the downtrodden are saved by God,
  saved from the murderous plots, saved from the iron fist.
And so the poor continue to hope,
  while injustice is bound and gagged.

NETHe catches the wise in their own craftiness,
 ⇔ and the counsel of the cunning is brought to a quick end.

BBEHe takes the wise in their secret designs, and the purposes of the twisted are cut off suddenly.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לֹכֵ֣ד חֲכָמִ֣ים בְּ⁠עָרְמָ֑⁠ם

catches wise in/on/at/with,craftiness,their

Eliphaz is speaking as if the craftiness of cunning people were literally a trap that God uses to catch them. He means that God makes them suffer the consequences of the evil actions by which they intended to make others suffer. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “making the cunning suffer the consequences of their own evil actions”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

חֲכָמִ֣ים

wise

Eliphaz is using the adjective cunning as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “cunning people”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠עֲצַ֖ת נִפְתָּלִ֣ים נִמְהָֽרָה

and,schemes wily brought_to_a_quick_end

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and hastening the plan of the ones being deceptive”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

וַ⁠עֲצַ֖ת נִפְתָּלִ֣ים נִמְהָֽרָה

and,schemes wily brought_to_a_quick_end

Eliphaz is using the word and to introduce the result of God frustrating the plans of the crafty. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “so that the plan of the ones being deceptive is hastened” or “so that he can hasten the plan of the ones being deceptive”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠עֲצַ֖ת נִפְתָּלִ֣ים נִמְהָֽרָה

and,schemes wily brought_to_a_quick_end

When Eliphaz says that God hastens the plan of deceptive people, he likely means that God makes their plans fail by bringing them too early, before they are ready, to the point where they would need to take effect. So the implication is that God makes the plan fail.
