trusts in/on/at/with,heart,his_own he/it fool and,walks in/on/at/with,wisdom he/it delivered

One who trusts, his, he, a stupid one, one who walks, and himself refer to types of 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 trusts in that person’s own heart, that person is stupid, but any person who walks in wisdom, that person will flee”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

בְּ֭⁠לִבּ⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,heart,his_own

Here, heart refers to the whole person. See how you translated the same use of heart in 14:10.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הוֹלֵ֥ךְ

and,walks

Here, Solomon speaks of a person behaving with wisdom as if wisdom were a place that person walks in. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated a similar use of “walk” in 3:23. Alternate translation: “who behaves with wisdom”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ֝⁠חָכְמָ֗ה

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

ה֣וּא יִמָּלֵֽט

he/it he/it delivered

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ה֣וּא יִמָּלֵֽט

he/it he/it delivered

Here, Solomon implies that this person will flee from danger. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “he himself will flee from danger”
