  • Newari: “I will destroy both the winter palaces
    and the summer palaces.
    I will destroy the houses which are decorated with ivory
    and also the great mansions’
    the LORD says” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “I will-destroy their houses which (are) for cold-season and houses which (are) for hot-season. I will- also -destroy their expensive houses. Therefore many of their houses will-be-destroyed. I, the LORD, (am) the-(one) saying this.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “I will cause the houses that they live in during the winter/rainy season and those in which they live during the summer/dry season to be torn down.
    Beautiful big houses and houses that are decorated with ivory will be destroyed.
    That will surely happen because I, Yahweh, have said it!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
