  • Hiligaynon: “Tell him that this is what I am saying: ‘After you have-killed the man, you still want to take his land? Because of what you have-done, the dogs will-lick your blood outside the town, as they licked there the blood of Nabot.’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Tell Ahab that this is what I, Yahweh, say to him: ‘You have murdered Naboth and taken his land.’ So I am telling you this: ‘In the same place where Naboth died and dogs came and licked up Naboth’s blood, you will die and the dogs will lick up your blood, too!’ ’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
