OET (OET-RV) For how much longer will you keep saying that stuff?
⇔ The words coming out of your mouth are like a strong wind.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

Bildad 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: “Until when will you say these things, and until when will the words of your mouth be a mighty wind”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
עַד־אָ֥ן תְּמַלֶּל־אֵ֑לֶּה וְר֥וּחַ כַּ֝בִּיר אִמְרֵי־פִֽיךָ
until when? say these and=spirit mighty words mouth,your
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: “You should not keep saying these things, and the words of your mouth should not keep being a mighty wind!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אִמְרֵי־פִֽיךָ
words mouth,your
Bildad is using the term mouth to mean speaking, by association with the way people use their mouths to speak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the words that you speak” or see next note for another possibility.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
אִמְרֵי־פִֽיךָ
words mouth,your
It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: “your words” or “what you say”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְר֥וּחַ כַּ֝בִּיר
and=spirit mighty
Bildad is speaking as if the words of Job were literally a mighty wind. He means that Job is saying many things insistently, but they are not substantial. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and … be so insistent but so insubstantial”
8:2 How long? Bildad’s question might be an ironic parody of Job’s question in 7:19.

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.
