⇔ because they’ve dug a pit to capture me in
⇔ and have hidden traps for me to step into.

(Some words not found in UHB: heard cry from,houses_of,their that/for/because/then/when bring on,them raiders suddenly that/for/because/then/when dug pit to,capture,me and,snares hidden for,feet_of,my )
The phrase “a distressed shout” can be translated with a verbal phrase. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Let people hear a distressed shout] or [Let people hear others shout in distress]

(Occurrence 0) For they have dug a pit to capture me and have hidden traps for my feet
(Some words not found in UHB: heard cry from,houses_of,their that/for/because/then/when bring on,them raiders suddenly that/for/because/then/when dug pit to,capture,me and,snares hidden for,feet_of,my )
These two phrases share similar meanings. Jeremiah speaks of his enemies planning to kill him as if they had dug a pit for him to fall into and set traps in which to capture him. (See also: figs-metaphor)
(Occurrence 0) they have dug a pit
(Some words not found in UHB: heard cry from,houses_of,their that/for/because/then/when bring on,them raiders suddenly that/for/because/then/when dug pit to,capture,me and,snares hidden for,feet_of,my )
See how you translated this in Jeremiah 18:20.

(Some words not found in UHB: heard cry from,houses_of,their that/for/because/then/when bring on,them raiders suddenly that/for/because/then/when dug pit to,capture,me and,snares hidden for,feet_of,my )
Here the word “feet” represents Jeremiah. Alternate translation: [have hidden traps for me] or [have hidden traps for me to step on]
