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).

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
לַמָּ֣ס מֵרֵעֵ֣הוּ חָ֑סֶד
for_the,despairing friend,his kindness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of covenant faithfulness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “The friend of someone who is despairing should help him faithfully”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
לַמָּ֣ס
for_the,despairing
Job is using the adjective despairing as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “To someone who is despairing”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
מֵרֵעֵ֣הוּ חָ֑סֶד
friend,his kindness
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: “there should be covenant faithfulness from his friend”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְיִרְאַ֖ת שַׁדַּ֣י יַעֲזֽוֹב
and,fear almighty forsakes
This could mean implicitly: (1) that a friend should show faithfulness to a despairing person even if that person forsakes the fear of the Almighty (as Job’s friends believe he may be doing). Alternate translation: “even if that despairing person forsakes the fear of the Almighty” (2) that if a friend does not show faithfulness to a despairing person, that friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty. Alternate translation: “otherwise that friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְיִרְאַ֖ת שַׁדַּ֣י יַעֲזֽוֹב
and,fear almighty forsakes
Job is using the word fear to mean respect for God that leads a person to obey God. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that in your translation. Alternate translation: “even if he does not respect and obey the Almighty” or “otherwise he does not respect and obey the Almighty”
