UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

לֹ֣א יַאֲמִ֑ין & יָשִׂ֥ים

not puts_~_trust & charges

The pronouns he and his refer back to the previous verse to God, not to “a man.” It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “God does not trust … God charges”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בַּ֭⁠עֲבָדָי⁠ו & וּ֝⁠בְ⁠מַלְאָכָ֗י⁠ו

in/on/at/with,servants,his & and,in/on/at/with,angels,his

By his servants, Eliphaz implicitly means the angels he mentions later in the verse. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “in the angels who serve him and … those angels”
