- Hiligaynon: “I will-let- you -turn-around and hook [you] with a hook on your jaw, and drag [you] together-with all your soldiers — your horses, horsemen fully-armed, and your many soldiers who have large and small shields and all were-fully-armed with sword.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “It will be as though I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws and bring you to Israel—you and all of your army, including your horses and men carrying weapons who ride the horses, and many other soldiers carrying large shields and small shields, all of them carrying swords.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
