uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

לָ֖⁠מָּה תִּשּׁוֹמֵֽם

to/for=what destroy

Solomon is using the question form to warn against overconfidence in one’s own righteousness and wisdom. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [you will only be shocked]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לָ֖⁠מָּה תִּשּׁוֹמֵֽם

to/for=what destroy

The expression be shocked is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [why should this shock you]
