עַד־אָ֤נָה ׀ תְּשִׂימ֣וּן קִנְצֵ֣י לְמִלִּ֑ין
until how_long will_you_all_make, ends_of for,words
Bildad 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: “You should make an end of words right now!” or “It is not helpful for you to keep saying such things!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
עַד־אָ֤נָה ׀ תְּשִׂימ֣וּן קִנְצֵ֣י לְמִלִּ֑ין
until how_long will_you_all_make, ends_of for,words
Bildad is using the term words to mean what Job has been saying by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Bildad is answering Job by using the same language that Job used in 16:3. See how you translated the expression “an end to words” there; ends of words here is a slight variation. Alternate translation: “For how long will you keep talking”
Note 3 topic: translate-plural
תְּשִׂימ֣וּן & תָּ֝בִ֗ינוּ
will_you_all_make, & consider
The pronoun you and the implied “you” in the imperative Consider are plural. Bildad may be using these plural forms because he is answering Job in his own words and Job addressed “all of you” (meaning his three friends) when he asked in 16:3](../16/03.md), “Is there an end to words of wind?” Bildad could be portraying Job as representative of a group of people who think and speak as he does. If your language marks a distinction between singular and plural “you,” it may be more natural to use singular forms in your translation.
18:2-3 How long before you stop talking? Bildad addressed Job in the plural, perhaps meaning “people like you.”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
