Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 4:17:

• Kupsabiny: “because food and water shall be in short supply. They shall be in trouble/despair and be ashamed on account of their sins.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “And because of the scarcity of food and water, they will-look-at-each-other stunned, and they will- gradually -die because of their sin.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “because water and food will be very scarce. They will see each other becoming extremely thin, and they will be appalled; but this will happen because they are being punished for the sins that they have committed.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
