Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 4:10:

you will commit adultery and not get children
because you have refused me God
and have followed idols.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “‘They will eat, but they will not be satisfied.
They will commit prostitution, but their numbers will not increase.
For they have abandoned the LORD to give themselves,” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “You (plur.) do-eat indeed, but you (plur.) will- not -be-satisfied/full. You (plur.) worship little-gods which you (plur.) believe can-give a child, but you (plur.) can- not -cause-to-give-birth because you (plur.) rejected me” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “The priests will eat, but they will still be hungry;
