UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שֹׁד & מִשְׁפָּֽט

violence & justice

See how you translated the abstract nouns violence in 3:31 and justice in 1:3.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

שֹׁד־רְשָׁעִ֥ים

violence wicked

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe the violence done by wicked ones. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “The violence done by wicked ones”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

יְגוֹרֵ֑⁠ם

sweep_~_away,them

Here Solomon speaks of wicked ones being destroyed because they act violently as if their violence were a person who could drag them away. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will destroy them”
