Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 17:7:
- Kupsabiny: “The (my) eyes are red from tears
and I have become thin until I am like the size of grass.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Due to much anxiety my eyes have become dim,
my whole body has become like a shadow.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “My sight now become-blurry from sadness; as-if spirit/soul now I am in-slinderness/[or: almost now as thin as a shadow]” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “For many years they walked confidently,
but later in life it was as though they stumbled and fell,
because they themselves did not heed the advice that they gave to others.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
