OET (OET-RV) But now those who’re younger than me laugh at me—
⇔ those whose fathers I would have refused to have join my sheepdogs!
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
צְעִירִ֥ים מִמֶּ֗נִּי לְיָ֫מִ֥ים
younger than,I as_far_as,days
Job is using the adjective phrase fewer in days as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. (He is contrasting his present situation, in which younger people now disrespect him, with the way that “young men” formerly withdrew respectfully from his presence and “old men” stood up out of respect for him, as he described in 29:8.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “those who are much younger than I am”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֲשֶׁר־מָאַ֥סְתִּי אֲבוֹתָ֑ם לָ֝שִׁ֗ית עִם־כַּלְבֵ֥י צֹאנִֽי
which/who disdained fathers,them to,put with dogs flock,my
The implications of this statement is that the fathers of the young men who now laugh at Job were shiftless and incompetent. This could mean: (1) that Job would not employ these men to do even such menial tasks as shepherd dogs do. Alternate translation: “whose fathers I could not even employ to do menial tasks” (2) that Job would not specifically employ these men as shepherds for his flocks, working with his sheepdogs. Alternate translation: “whose fathers I would not even employ as shepherds”

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.
