Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֲשֶׁר־יָק֥וֹט כִּסְל֑וֹ וּבֵ֥ית עַ֝כָּבִ֗ישׁ מִבְטַחֽוֹ
which/who fragile confidence_of,his and,web_of spider's trust_of,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_of,his and,web_of spider's trust_of,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_of spider's trust_of,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 Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
