‘Truly the day shall come
when you will all be caught
like fish that are caught by hooks.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “The Sovereign Lord God has taken an oath on his holiness,
‘Behold, surely the day will come that
you shall be taken away with hooks
as with fishhooks.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “what- the Lord GOD -is-saying: ‘In my holiness, I swear that the day will- surely -come that you (plur.) will-be-taken-captives by your (plur.) enemies like the hooking of fish.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
