Job 18:3 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Job 18:2      Job 18:4

Job 18:3

Why should we [I, Eliphaz, and Zophar] be counted as cattle [Job 12:7; 17:4, 10],
considered foolish (unclean – Hebr. tamah) in your [plural] eyes.
[This verse is difficult to translate. The word tamah is only used here and may have the root meaning unclean, but based on the parallelism, there is another root meaning foolish, which also fits here. TheGreek translation renders it as, "Why have we been silent before you like cattle?"]
