OET interlinear JOB 6:26

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

הַ⁠לְ⁠הוֹכַ֣ח מִלִּ֣ים תַּחְשֹׁ֑בוּ וּ֝⁠לְ⁠ר֗וּחַ אִמְרֵ֥י נֹאָֽשׁ

?,to,reprove (Some words not found in UHB: ?,to,reprove words/messages think and,to,wind words_of despairing )

Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [Do you think to correct my words, and do you liken to the wind the words of one despairing]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הַ⁠לְ⁠הוֹכַ֣ח מִלִּ֣ים תַּחְשֹׁ֑בוּ וּ֝⁠לְ⁠ר֗וּחַ אִמְרֵ֥י נֹאָֽשׁ

?,to,reprove (Some words not found in UHB: ?,to,reprove words/messages think and,to,wind words_of despairing )

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 this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You think to correct my words, and you liken the words of one despairing to the wind!] or [You only want to prove me wrong; you do not believe that I am justified in saying these desperate things!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וּ֝⁠לְ⁠ר֗וּחַ אִמְרֵ֥י נֹאָֽשׁ

and,to,wind words_of despairing

If Job is saying that his friends are likening his words to the wind, then Job is making a comparison. The point of the comparison is that Job’s friends consider his words to be trivial, having no more substance than wind. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [and do you consider the words of one despairing to be as insubstantial as the wind]
