Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וּמַה־יִּצְדַּ֣ק אֱנ֣וֹשׁ עִם־אֵ֑ל וּמַה־יִּ֝זְכֶּ֗ה יְל֣וּד אִשָּֽׁה
and,how righteous ʼₑnōshh with god and,how pure born 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
ʼₑnōshh
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”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
יְל֣וּד אִשָּֽׁה
born woman/wife
See how you translated this expression in 15:14. Alternate translation: “a mortal”
25:4 Eliphaz had said that it is nearly impossible to be innocent or pure (4:17-19; 15:14-16), and then only after suffering (22:21-23). Bildad claimed that only the totally blameless could hope to be pure (8:20).

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.
