UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שֻׁלַּ֣ח בְּ⁠רֶ֣שֶׁת בְּ⁠רַגְלָ֑י⁠ו וְ⁠עַל־שְׂ֝בָכָ֗ה יִתְהַלָּֽךְ

thrust in/on/at/with,net in/on/at/with,feet,his_own and,into mesh walks

Bildad is speaking as if a wicked person would literally be caught in a net or pitfall. He means that such a person will experience troubles that will keep him from fulfilling his plans. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he will experience troubles that will keep him from fulfilling his plans”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

שֻׁלַּ֣ח בְּ⁠רֶ֣שֶׁת בְּ⁠רַגְלָ֑י⁠ו

thrust in/on/at/with,net in/on/at/with,feet,his_own

Bildad is speaking of the feet of a wicked person as if they were a living thing that could cast him into a net. The implication seems to be that if the feet of the wicked person, rather than his eyes and his mind, are determining where he is going, he will walk into dangers unawares. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he will walk unawares into a net”

שְׂ֝בָכָ֗ה

mesh

A pitfall is a type of trap for animals. To make it, people dig a pit in the ground and cover it with netting. They then put plant materials all over the netting to make it appear that the ground above the pit is just ordinary ground. If your readers would not be familiar with what a pitfall is, in your translation you could use the name of a comparable object in your culture, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “a concealed trap”
