כִּֽי
that/for/because/then/when
Job is using the word For to explain in what way his friends are like the desert streams he has been describing, as he said they were in verse 15. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “You are like these streams because”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
הֱיִ֣יתֶם & תִּֽרְא֥וּ & וַתִּירָֽאוּ
become & see & and,afraid
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the word you is plural here and in the rest of the chapter because Job is using it to address his three friends. Use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הֱיִ֣יתֶם לא
become לא
Job is speaking of his friends as if they had become nothing, just as a stream ceases to exist when all of its water dries up. He means that his friends are offering him no help, just as a dried-up stream would not help a caravan that needed water in the desert. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you are not offering me any help”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
תִּֽרְא֥וּ חֲ֝תַ֗ת וַתִּירָֽאוּ
see something_dreadful and,afraid
Job seems to be saying implicitly that his friends think that God has afflicted him with a terror and so they are afraid to console him, because they think God will afflict them as well if they take his side. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “you think that God has sent this terror and so you are afraid to help me because you think God will punish you if you do”
6:14-27 Job and his friends might have been bound by a covenant of loyalty and faithfulness (Hebrew khesed; see Gen 21:23; Exod 15:13; 1 Chr 16:34) that made them like brothers (Job 6:14-15), protectors (6:21-23), and trusted friends (6:27). If this was the case, Job was accusing his friends of violating their covenant with him.

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.
