UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

תָּב֣וֹא & אֱלֵי־קָ֑בֶר

come & to grave

Eliphaz is using the expression come to the grave to mean “die.” This is a poetic way of referring to death. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “You will depart this world”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַּ⁠עֲל֖וֹת גָּדִ֣ישׁ בְּ⁠עִתּֽ⁠וֹ

as,gathered stack_of_sheaves in/on/at/with,season,its

The point of this comparison is that when Job’s time comes to die, he will have lived a full and rewarding life, just as a stack of grain that is harvested in its time is ripe and fully developed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “mature and accomplished, like grain that is harvested at the peak of ripeness”
