Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

not in/on/at/with,heap_of_ruins he/it_will_send_out/away hand if in/on/at/with,disaster,his they & (Some words not found in UHB: surely not in/on/at/with,heap_of_ruins he/it_will_send_out/away hand if in/on/at/with,disaster,his they cry_for_help )
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: “one in a heap certainly stretches out a hand! He certainly cries out because he is in trouble!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
לֹא־בְ֭עִי יִשְׁלַח־יָ֑ד
not in/on/at/with,heap_of_ruins he/it_will_send_out/away hand
Job is using a hypothetical situation as an example and applying it by implication to his own situation. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “if someone is in a heap of ruins, then he certainly stretches out a hand, and in the same way I am calling to you for help.”
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
לֹא־בְ֭עִי יִשְׁלַח־יָ֑ד
not in/on/at/with,heap_of_ruins he/it_will_send_out/away hand
Reaching out with one’s hand when in a desperate situation is a symbolic action that constitutes an appeal for help. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “does not one in a heap of ruins appeal for help”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אִם־בְּ֝פִיד֗וֹ לָהֶ֥ן שֽׁוּעַ
if in/on/at/with,disaster,his they cry_for_help
Job is using the word If to introduce a question that anticipates a contrary answer. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “He cries out because he is in trouble, does he not”

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.
