Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ecclesiastes 7:4:
- Kupsabiny: “A wise person looks carefully into what death is,
but a foolish person rejoices at luxury/happiness.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “The heart of the wise will be in the house of mourning.
The heart of the fool, however, is in the house of merriment.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “A wise man always thinks about death, but a foolish man always thinks about pleasure.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
