FBV Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?[fn]
26:4 Clearly in these verses Job is being ironic. In addition some commentators see 26:1-4 as Job interrupting Bildad who continues as speaker of 26:5-14.

⇔ Who inspired you to speak like you did?”

(Quem docere voluisti? nonne him who fecit spiramentum?)
26.4 Quem docere. Spiramento vivimus sine quo non sapimus, sed per quod. Qui ergo dat vitam, dat et sapientiam. Spiramentum. AUG. Sicut non possumus non de nostra natura, etc., usque ad quia non creatus creatum. Nonne eum qui. Ibid. Baldath quia Job flagellatum, etc., usque ad per sententias expandit dicens: Ecce gigantes gemunt sub aquis. Postquam repressit tumorem sapientiæ, etc., usque ad quo in altum se erigit.

BRN To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from thee?
BrLXX Τίνι ἀνήγγειλας ῥήματα; πνοὴ δὲ τίνος ἐστὶν ἡ ἐξελθοῦσα ἐκ σοῦ;
(Tini anaʸngeilas ɽaʸmata? pnoaʸ de tinos estin haʸ exelthousa ek sou? )
26:4 Eliphaz (4:15), Zophar (20:3), and Elihu (32:18; 33:4) all claimed to be prompted by the proper spirit (see Jer 29:8-9; 1 Cor 12:10; 1 Jn 4:1).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
אֶת־מִ֭י הִגַּ֣דְתָּ מִלִּ֑ין וְנִשְׁמַת־מִ֝י יָצְאָ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ
DOM who? uttered words and,spirit who? come_forth from,you
Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Someone must have helped you declare those words! Someone else’s breath must have come out from you!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶת־מִ֭י הִגַּ֣דְתָּ מִלִּ֑ין וְנִשְׁמַת־מִ֝י יָצְאָ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ
DOM who? uttered words and,spirit who? come_forth from,you
Job is implying that God must have helped Bildad speak, although he does not really mean it (see next note). You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “God must have helped you declare those words! God’s own breath must have come out from you!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / irony
אֶת־מִ֭י הִגַּ֣דְתָּ מִלִּ֑ין וְנִשְׁמַת־מִ֝י יָצְאָ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ
DOM who? uttered words and,spirit who? come_forth from,you
For emphasis, Job is continuing to say the opposite of what he means. If a speaker of your language would not do this, in your translation you could indicate what Job actually means. Alternate translation: “You are merely sharing human opinions! You have no divinely granted insights!”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶת־מִ֭י הִגַּ֣דְתָּ מִלִּ֑ין
DOM who? uttered words
Job is using the term words to mean what Bildad has just said by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God must have helped you say what you did!” or, showing that Job is saying the opposite of what he means, “What you said was merely your own human opinion”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְנִשְׁמַת־מִ֝י יָצְאָ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ
and,spirit who? come_forth from,you
The word translated breath can also mean “spirit,” so this could mean: (1) that Job is making a parallel statement to the first part of the verse, using the breath that comes out of a person’s mouth while he is speaking to mean the act of speaking itself. Alternate translation: “And who was speaking with you as you spoke” or “And who enabled you to speak so well” or “It is certainly not as if God was helping you speak!” (2) that Job is suggesting (while meaning the opposite of what he is saying) that an angel or God’s Spirit must have inspired Bildad to say what he did. Alternate translation: “And what spirit inspired you to speak so well” or “And was it not God’s Spirit who inspired you to speak so well”
