Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

OET (OET-RV) So now, please give the command to fell cedars for me from the Lebanon forest. Let my servants accompany your servants and I’ll pay your servants’ wages whatever amount you set, because you yourself know that there are no other workers who know how to fell trees like the Tsidonians.”

ULT And now, command and let them cut for me cedars from the Lebanon and let my servants be with your servants and I will give to you the wage of your servants according to all that you say. For you yourself know that there is no man among us knowing how to cut trees like the Sidonians.”
