leans on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in house,his and=not stand lays_hold in/on/over=him/it and=not endure
Bildad is speaking of a godless person as if he were literally leaning against his house and causing it to collapse beyond repair. The house represents the possessions and status of the godless person. Alternate translation: “It does not take much for a godless person to lose his possessions and status without any hope of recovering them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
וְלֹ֣א יַעֲמֹ֑ד & וְלֹ֣א יָקֽוּם
and=not stand & and=not endure
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use positive statements in your translation in place of these negative ones. Alternate translation: “and it collapses … but it remains collapsed”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
וְלֹ֣א יָקֽוּם
and=not and=not endure
Bildad is speaking of the house of a godless person as if it were a living thing that could arise on its own. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but he cannot make it stand upright again” or “but he cannot repair it”
