וּמַה־יִּצְדַּ֣ק אֱנ֣וֹשׁ עִם־אֵ֑ל וּמַה־יִּ֝זְכֶּ֗ה יְל֣וּד אִשָּֽׁה
and,what? and,what? (Some words not found in UHB: and,what? righteous Enosh/humankind with god and,what? pure born_of woman/wife )
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: [A man cannot be righteous with God! One born of a woman cannot be clean!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
אֱנ֣וֹשׁ
Enosh/humankind
Here the masculine term man has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [a person]

יְל֣וּד אִשָּֽׁה
born_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,what? righteous Enosh/humankind with god and,what? pure born_of woman/wife )
See how you translated this expression in 15:14. Alternate translation: [a mortal]

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.
