well-watered_plant he/it to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before sun and,over garden,his shoots,his spread

Bildad now speaks of a godless person as if he were a plant. In order to depict the temporary prosperity that godless people may enjoy, he describes this plant flourishing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning as a comparison. Alternate translation: “A godless person may at first thrive like a plant that is getting plenty of sunlight and whose shoots extend all over the garden in which it is planted”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לִ⁠פְנֵי־שָׁ֑מֶשׁ

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before sun

Here the word to the face of means “in front of” or “in the presence of” something. Bildad means that the plant is lush because it receives plenty of sunlight. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “because it receives plenty of sunlight”
