Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 2:17:
- Kupsabiny: “Those who boast will be disgraced at that time,
and those who bring themselves up will be pulled down.
God alone will be exalted on that day,” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “He will humble human pride.
On that day all idols will be put out of existence.
Then the LORD alone will be praised.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “On that day, only the LORD alone will-be-praised/exalted. He will-humble the proud-ones and the arrogant/[lit. ones who-think-highly-of-themselves].” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

and I will cause those beautiful women in Jerusalem to become bald.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
