UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שׁ֭וֹט יָמִ֣ית פִּתְאֹ֑ם

scourge brings_~_death sudden

Job is speaking of the disasters that people experience in life as if they were literally a scourge or whip that was punishing them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “disasters suddenly kill people”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לְ⁠מַסַּ֖ת נְקִיִּ֣ם

at,despair innocent

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of despair, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “innocent people when they despair”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

נְקִיִּ֣ם

innocent

Job is using the adjective innocent as a noun to mean a certain group of people. The ULT adds the word ones to show this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are innocent”
