Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 12:11:

• Kupsabiny: “The proverbs that wise people say are like the stick that is used to direct sheep. The proverbs that have been collected stick like nails that have been driven in all the way. A leader gave/provided these proverbs.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “The words of the wise are like a shepherd’s goad, and the saying they collect are like nails fixed in the stick, these words which have been given by the one Shepherd.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The words of a wise man are like a pointed cane/staff which is-used to lead the animal, and (it is) also like a nail that pierces well. This was given by God, who is our (incl.) only one-who-watches-over.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
