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 these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “I wish that you would stop speaking these words of wind! I do not think anything compels you to answer.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לְדִבְרֵי־ר֑וּחַ
to,words windy
Job is answering Eliphaz with his own words. See how you translated the similar expression in 15:2. Alternate translation: “to insubstantial words” or “to such bluster”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
תַעֲנֶֽה
answer
The word you is singular here because Job is using it to refer only to Eliphaz, who has just spoken to him. So use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
