If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [Tell him that one girding should not boast like one ungirding]

The implied “you” in the imperative Tell is plural here because Ahab is addressing the messengers of Ben Hadad. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

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.
