[Jacob] said, "Indeed, it saddens me that you should take him, and I fear that a wolf would eat him while you are of him unaware."
قَالُوا۟ They said qālū If la-in eats him akalahu the wolf l-dhi'bu while we wanaḥnu (are) a group ʿuṣ'batun indeed, we innā then idhan surely (would be) losers lakhāsirūna
They said, "If a wolf should eat him while we are a [strong] clan, indeed, we would then be losers."
