This sword is directed to my people of Israel
and all their leaders.
All leaders will be killed
together with my people.
Hold the cheeks only.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘Man, cry-out loudly and pound/beat your chest in sadness for that sword will-kill my people who are Israelinhon and their leaders.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

because I will use my sword to kill my people,
including the leaders of Israel.
They and all the other people, my people,
will be killed by swords,
