Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 7:10:

• Kupsabiny: “Do not say,
  ‘But life before/of old was so much better than today, was it not?’
  That is not the thinking of a person with understanding.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Do not say, ‘Why were the former days better than now?’
  for it is to ask this question shows you are not a wise person.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “[You (sing.)] do not ask, ‘Why is time-past better than now?’ For that is not the right question.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
