Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. 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.

וָ֭אֹמַר עִם־קִנִּ֣י אֶגְוָ֑ע וְ֝כַח֗וֹל אַרְבֶּ֥ה יָמִֽים
and,thought with nest,my die and,as_the,sand I_will_increase days
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “And I said that I would expire in my nest and that I would multiply days like sand”

וָ֭אֹמַר עִם־קִנִּ֣י אֶגְוָ֑ע וְ֝כַח֗וֹל אַרְבֶּ֥ה יָמִֽים
and,thought with nest,my die and,as_the,sand I_will_increase days
Since Job would live a long life before expiring, it might be more natural to put the second phrase before the first one. Alternate translation: “I will multiply days like sand, and then I will expire in my nest”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
אֶגְוָ֑ע
die
See how you translated the term expire in 3:11. Alternate translation: “I will pass away”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
עִם־קִנִּ֣י
with nest,my
Job is speaking of his home as if it were literally a nest such as a bird would live in. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in my own home”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
וְ֝כַח֗וֹל אַרְבֶּ֥ה יָמִֽים
and,as_the,sand I_will_increase days
The point of this comparison is that just as sand consists of a very large number of grains, so Job expected to live for a very large number of days. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “after I have lived for very many days” or “after I have lived for a long time”
