Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 9:14:

Make their wives be barren.
and not be nursing children.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “O LORD, give them punishment,
what will you give them?
Make their women barren,
without children, and dry up their milk.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Hoseas said, ‘LORD, this is what (you are) going to do to your (sing.) people: Do- not -let their women give-birth or nurse an infant.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

So I ask that you do this one thing:
Cause the women who are pregnant to have miscarriages
and unable to nurse their babies.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
