Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֲשֶׁר־יָק֥וֹט כִּסְל֑וֹ וּבֵ֥ית עַ֝כָּבִ֗ישׁ מִבְטַחֽוֹ
which/who fragile confidence,his and,web spider's trust,he
Bildad is speaking as if the confidence of a person who is godless literally snaps and as if the trust of a godless person were literally a spider’s web (the house of a spider). If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “whose confidence proves unfounded and whose trust is unreliable”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
אֲשֶׁר־יָק֥וֹט כִּסְל֑וֹ וּבֵ֥ית עַ֝כָּבִ֗ישׁ מִבְטַחֽוֹ
which/who fragile confidence,his and,web spider's trust,he
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of confidence and trust, you could express the same ideas in other ways. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “He is confident that certain things will happen, but they do not happen; he trusts in certain people and things to help him, but they do not”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּבֵ֥ית עַ֝כָּבִ֗ישׁ מִבְטַחֽוֹ
and,web spider's trust,he
Bildad is using the house of a spider (that is, a spider’s web) to represent something flimsy and unreliable. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly as a comparison. Alternate translation: “and whose trust is as flimsy and unreliable as a spider’s web”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
