- Hiligaynon: “Now, tell them that I, the Lord GOD, say: Whoever of the Israelinhon who will-love his little-gods/false-gods who will-bring him to sin and will-ask for a message from a prophet, I, the LORD, am-the-one himself who will-answer him through punishment according to the number of his little-god.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “So say this to them: ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: When any Israeli person wants to worship idols which will induce him to sin, and he goes to a prophetto get advice, I, Yahweh, will give him the answer that he deserves to receive because he worship idols.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
