Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 15:5:

• Kupsabiny: “If you cannot make anything before it is burned, what about when it has burned to destruction?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Therefore this has no value before it is burnt and especially if it is now burnt-up!” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “No; if it was not useful for anything before it was burned, it certainly cannot bemade into something useful after the fire has burned and charred it.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
