    And he is even hated in the Home of his God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

  • Hiligaynon: “As a prophet, my God is along-with me to watch/guard you (plur.) from-Israel. But whenever I go you (plur.) wanted to harm me; as-if I am like a bird that you (plur.) wanted to trap. The people in Israel, that my God is-considering his place-of-dwelling are angry with me.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “My God appointed me and the other prophets
    to be like watchmen to warn you people of Israel,
    but everywhere that we go, it is as though people set traps for us
    and people are hostile to us, even in the temple of our God.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
