Many people will be killed so that corpses will be heaped everywhere, until one cannot walk anywhere. People will be tripping over those corpses.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Attacking cavalry,
    flashing swords,
    shining spears,
    heap of casualties,
    uncountable corpses,
    people stumble over death bodies.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “They will-see the charging of the horse-riders, the flashing swords and spears, and the great numbers of dead-bodies which are piled-up. Even the soldiers are- stumbling over the dead-bodies.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Look at their flashing swords and glittering spears
    as the horsemen race forward!
    Many people of Nineveh will be killed;
    there will be piles of corpses,
    with the result that people will stumble over them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
