Or when a person has gone astray from the road will he not return back again?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The LORD said to me that I say this message of him to the people: ‘If a man falls, (is it) not so that he rises-up? If he went-astray, (is it) not so that he returns?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Yahweh said to me, ‘Jeremiah, tell the people that this is what I, Yahweh, am saying to them:
‘When people fall down, they get up again, do they not ?
