Eliphaz continues speaking to Job.

Is not God in the heights of heaven?

Eliphaz uses a question to remind Job that God is in heaven and sees everything that happens on earth. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

Look at the height of the stars, how high they are!

AT: "Look at how high the stars are. God is even high above them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?

Eliphaz is stating what he believes Job would say. He uses questions for emphasis. AT: "God does not know what happens on earth. He sits in dark clouds and cannot judge us" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

he walks on the vault of heaven

Here "vault" refers to the barrier that ancient people believed separated the earth from heaven. AT: "he lives too far away in heaven to see what happens here"
