Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 8:12:

• Kupsabiny: “Then God said to me, ‘Ezekiel, you have seen what these elders of Israel are doing in the dark all being where a house of his idol that he worships is, haven’t you? These people are saying, ‘God does not see us, and he has turned his back to the land.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Then God said to me, ‘Man, well you have seen now what the ones-who-rule Israel were-doing in secret? Each one of them is there in the room of his little-god. They say, ‘The LORD is not looking at us; he already has-rejected Israel.’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Yahweh said to me, ‘You human, look at what the Israeli elders are doing here in the darkness, each of them standing in front of the shrine of his own idol! They are saying, ‘Yahweh does not see us; Yahweh has deserted this country.’’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
