The issue is in bot.channels.get(`'${channel_id}`).send(text) is not how template literals work.

bot.channels.get(channel_id).send(text)

should work.

Then I would check if channel_id (or row.log_channel) is actually definited. It also does make sense to give the exact line the error gets thrown, since there are more than one positions where you try to send something.
