UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

מִ⁠שֻּׁ֣ט בָּ⁠אָ֔רֶץ וּ⁠מֵ⁠הִתְהַלֵּ֖ךְ בָּֽ⁠הּ

from,roaming on_the=earth and,from,walking_around in/on/at/with,it

These two phrases mean similar things. The adversary is using repetition to emphasize the idea that the phrases express. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and convey the emphasis in another way. See how you translated the same expression in 1:7. Alternate translation: “From wandering all over the earth”
