Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

26:2 Job’s friends had not helped him (12:2; 16:4). Bildad’s denial that acquittal was possible hit Job’s most sensitive nerve (10:1-7; 13:3, 13-19; 16:18-21; 19:23-27; 23:2-7).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / irony
מֶה־עָזַ֥רְתָּ לְלֹא־כֹ֑חַ ה֝וֹשַׁ֗עְתָּ זְר֣וֹעַ לֹא־עֹֽז
what? helped has,no power saved arm not strength
For emphasis, Job is saying the opposite of what he means. If a speaker of your language would not do this, in your translation you could indicate what Job actually means. Alternate translation: “You have not helped the one without power! You have not saved the arm of no strength”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
מֶה־עָזַ֥רְתָּ לְלֹא־כֹ֑חַ ה֝וֹשַׁ֗עְתָּ זְר֣וֹעַ לֹא־עֹֽז
what? helped has,no power saved arm not strength
Job is speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: “You have not helped me, even though I was without power! You have not saved me, even though my arm had no strength”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
עָזַ֥רְתָּ & ה֝וֹשַׁ֗עְתָּ
helped & saved
In this verse, as well as in verses 3 and 4, the word you is singular because Job is addressing Bildad directly. So use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
זְר֣וֹעַ לֹא־עֹֽז
arm not strength
Job is using one part of himself, his arm, to mean all of him as someone who is struggling to have strength during difficulties. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a person of no strength” or “me, even though I had no strength”
