UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

תִּשְׁכּ֣וֹן בְּ֭⁠אָהֳל⁠וֹ

remains in/on/at/with,tent_of,his

The pronoun One is feminine in this verse, as in the previous verse, and so it may refer once again to terror. (However, interpreters have a range of understandings of what this verse means.) Alternate translation: “Terror will dwell in his tent”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִ⁠בְּלִי־ל֑⁠וֹ

from,nothing_of to=him/it

Bildad means implicitly that the tent will no longer belong to the wicked person, probably because he will be dead (a prisoner of the “king of terrors,” death, as the previous verse describes). You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “which will be abandoned because he is dead”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יְזֹרֶ֖ה עַל־נָוֵ֣⁠הוּ גָפְרִֽית

scattered on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in dwelling_of,his sulfur

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context suggests that it is God. Alternate translation: “God scatters sulfur upon his home” or “God destroys his home by raining burning sulfur on it”
