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

OET (OET-RV) Your servant is eighty years old. My mind isn’t the same as it was, and I can’t really taste what I eat or drink. I can barely hear the sounds of the men and women singing. So why would your servant become an extra burden to my master the king?”
