  • Hiligaynon: “‘ ‘But if there is a nation or kingdom that will- not -serve or be-subject-under King Nebuchadnezzar of Babilonia, I will-punish that nation or kingdom with war, famine, and diseases until I will-put- them -under-the-jurisdiction of Nebuchadnezzar. I, the LORD, (am) the-(one) saying this.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But now I tell you that you must do what the king of Babylon wants you to do , like an ox that has a yoke on its neck must do what its master wants it to do.
