Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
מָצָ֣א אִ֭שָּׁה & וַיָּ֥פֶק
he/it_found woman/wife & and,obtains
He who finds, a wife, and he refer to people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any person who finds a wife … and that person obtains”

מָצָ֣א & מָ֣צָא
he/it_found & he/it_found
Obtaining a wife and something good are spoken of as if they are objects that a person finds by searching for it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He who obtains … obtains”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ט֑וֹב & רָ֝צ֗וֹן
good & favour
See how you translated the abstract nouns good in 11:27 and favor in 3:4.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
רָ֝צ֗וֹן
favour
Here, favor could refer to: (1) Yahweh being pleased with the man who finds a wife, as in the identical phrase in 8:35. Alternate translation: “approval” (2) the wife mentioned in the previous clause, in which case favor would mean “gift.” Alternate translation: “a gift”
