Even as animals, there’s nothing appealing or beautiful about them. They have neither the praise nor the blessing of God.
DRA
Yea, neither by sight can any man see good of these beasts. But they have fled from the praise of God, and from his blessing.
GNT
Even as animals they are not attractive enough to make anyone want them. God himself passed them by when he put his approval and blessing on the rest of creation.
NABRE
For beasts are neither good-looking nor desirable; they have escaped both the approval of God and his blessing.
NCB
and without the slightest hint of beauty that might make them seem desirable; they have been excluded both from the approval of God and from his blessing.
NRSVA
and even as animals they are not so beautiful in appearance that one would desire them, but they have escaped both the praise of God and his blessing.
NRSVACE
and even as animals they are not so beautiful in appearance that one would desire them, but they have escaped both the praise of God and his blessing.
NRSVCE
and even as animals they are not so beautiful in appearance that one would desire them, but they have escaped both the praise of God and his blessing.

and even as animals they are not so beautiful in appearance that one would desire them, but they have escaped both the praise of God and his blessing.
RSV
and even as animals they are not so beautiful in appearance that one would desire them, but they have escaped both the praise of God and his blessing.
RSVCE
and even as animals they are not so beautiful in appearance that one would desire them, but they have escaped both the praise of God and his blessing.
WYC
But neither by sight any man may of these beasts behold goods; forsooth they have driven away the praising of God, and his blessing. [But neither with sight anything of these beasts may behold good things; forsooth they fled the praising of God, and the blessing of him.]
