- Newari: “For I know how rebellious and obstinate you are. If you stood up against the LORD even while I was with you, why would you not also [do so] after I die?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “For I know how rebellious and stubborn you (plur.) are. Even though I am with you (plur.) now, you (plur.) rebel already against the LORD, how much more if I am dead already!” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
