Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 5:14:
- Kupsabiny: “The God of power is saying,
‘Jeremiah, because these people have said like that,
let the words that I am giving to you become fire,
and these people become firewood,
that fire will consume them completely!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Therefore this is what the LORD God Almighty said to me, ‘Because this is what these people had-spoken, I will-give you (sing.) a message like a fire that would-burn them. They will-become like a tree that had-been-burned.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “So, this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, has said to me:
‘Because my people are saying those things,
I will give you a message to tell them that will be like a fire,
and these people will be like wood that the fire will burn up.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
