Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 4:16:

• Kupsabiny: “He then said to me, ‘Ezekiel, I shall make scarce the food that is being brought to Jerusalem. People shall scramble for the rationed food with much anxiety and drink water in anxiety” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The LORD still said, ‘Man, I will-cause-to-become-scarce the food in Jerusalem. The residents of Jerusalem will-measure their food and water and they will-eat and will-drink worrying and mourning.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Then he said to me, ‘You human, I will cause the supply of food to Jerusalem to be cut off. Then the people will eat the small amounts of food and drink the small amounts of waterthat the government permits them to have, and they will be very distressed and anxious as they do that,” (Source: Translation for Translators)
