  • Hiligaynon: “This is still what the Lord GOD showed to me: I saw the Lord standing near the stone-wall and he held a plumb-line which was-used to-measure the stone-wall if the making of it (was) straight.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then Yahweh showed me another vision. I saw him standing beside a wall. It was very straight because it had been built using a plumb line/cord with a weight on one end to determine if walls are vertically straight. Yahweh had the plumb line in his hand.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
