שָׁ֗ם
there
There implicitly means in God’s presence, as Job describes in verses 3 and 4. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “In God’s presence,”
Note 2 topic: translate-tense
יָ֭שָׁר נוֹכָ֣ח עִמּ֑וֹ
upright reason with=him/it
Job is using the participle arguing to depict action as occurring regularly in order to indicate that it is possible. Alternate translation: “the upright can reason with him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
יָ֭שָׁר נוֹכָ֣ח עִמּ֑וֹ
upright reason with=him/it
Job is likely referring to himself when he speaks of an upright person. In that case, he would be speaking of himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: “an upright person like me can reason with him” or “I, as an upright person, can reason with him”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
יָ֭שָׁר
upright
Job is using the adjective upright as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “an upright person”
23:6-7 Earlier, Job had believed that God was too strong for him to summon (9:19), so he had requested an arbiter (9:33-34) and asked God not to terrify him (13:21). Here he expressed more hope that God would grant him a fair hearing.
• acquitted: Job did not want to be pardoned as a guilty man but to be declared innocent (13:18; see Pss 17:2-3; 26:1-3).

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.
