Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in fate,his appalled in_the_west and,east seized horror

Bildad is using two groups of people to mean all people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. This could mean: (1) people who live after God punishes the wicked person and people who were alive beforehand and recognized that God would punish the wicked person. Alternate translation: “The way God punishes him will make a great impression on everyone who ever hears of him” (2) people who live to the west of the wicked person and people who live to the east of the wicked person. Alternate translation: “The way God punishes him will make a great impression on the people who live all around him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

אַחֲרֹנִ֑ים וְ֝⁠קַדְמֹנִ֗ים

in_the_west and,east

If Bildad is speaking of people who live after and before God punishes the wicked person, then he is using those adjectives as nouns to mean certain groups of people. The ULT adds the word ones in each case to suggest this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “Those who live after him … and those who see what is going to happen to him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

י֭וֹמ⁠וֹ

fate,his

Bildad is using the term day to mean what happens to the wicked person at a particular time, the time when God punishes him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what happens to him when God punishes him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אָ֣חֲזוּ שָֽׂעַר

seized horror

Bildad is speaking as if horror were literally an object that people could seize. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will become horrified”
