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.

CLV Per diem incurrent tenebras, et quasi in nocte, sic palpabunt in meridie.[fn]
(Per diem incurrent tenebras, and as_if in nocte, so palpabunt in meridie.)
5.14 Per diem incurrent. Quia in ipsa veritatis præsentia, perfidiæ errore cæcati sunt, videntes miracula Christi et de ejus deitate dubitantes. Quasi in nocte. Palpando quærimus quæ oculis non videmus: Judæi miracula viderant, et adhuc quasi palpantes quærebant: Si tu es Christus, dic nobis palam Joan. 10.. Sed horum manibus diu retineri non potuit Christus. Per diem incurrent tenebras. Ibid. Mens invidi cum de bono alieno affligitur, de radio solis obscuratur. Et quasi in nocte sic palpabunt in meridie. Dies boni operis in proximo exterius lucet: quasi in nocte palpant, quia, livore cæci, aliqua quæ reprehendant, invenire satagunt. Ecce Loth, id est, justus malis adversantibus intra domum recluditur et munitur, id est ad mentem revertitur et manet interius, Sodomitæ cæci circumeunt, id est, invidentes facta dictaque scrutantur, nec ostium, id est, aditum reprehensionis, inveniunt, sed parietem palpant, quia ubique laudabilis actio justi eis obviat. Palpabunt. Sed pauper spiritu, id est, qui apud se non est elatus: salvatur a gladio oris, id est, iniqua persuasione.

BRN In the day darkness shall come upon them, and let them grope in the noon-day even as in the night:
BrLXX Ἡμέρας συναντήσεται αὐτοῖς σκότος, τὸ δὲ μεσημβρινὸν ψηλαφήσαισαν ἶσα νυκτὶ,
(Haʸmeras sunantaʸsetai autois skotos, to de mesaʸmbrinon psaʸlafaʸsaisan isa nukti, )
5:9-16 Eliphaz’s doxology praised God as the wonder-working Creator and Sustainer of the universe (5:9-10) and as the righteous Judge who brings down the powerful and lifts up the poor (5:11-16).

in_the_daytime meet darkness and,as_the,night grope in/on/at/with,noon
Eliphaz is speaking as if the cunning and deceptive people he described in the previous verse are literally in the dark during the day and cannot find their way. He means that God keeps them from realizing how to make their wicked plans succeed. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God keeps these cunning and deceptive people from realizing how to make their wicked plans succeed”
