If that is the content of the JSON backup then that file is broken and you can't recover the bookmarks that were saved in it.

A JSON backup is a text file that starts with {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":

You can try if you can restore another JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder that does look like I wrote above if you open the file in a text editor.

You can't recover data from a broken file. If you can't recover a file that is not corrupted then your bookmarks are lost. To prevent that you should regularly backup personal data that you value.
