  • Kupsabiny: “God has made those people confused,
    and led the people of Egypt astray in their thoughts.
    So, the land of Egypt is staggering.
    (They) are like a drunkard
    who is sliding/slipping in his vomit.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The LORD has given them a spirit of confusion.
    Like a drunkard staggering in the place where he had vomited,

    they have caused confusion.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “As-if the LORD is-causing-to-become-dizzy the head of those of/from-Egipto. They are wayward in all they do. They are like a drunkard that stagger and vomits.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Yahweh has caused them to be very foolish,
    with the result that in everything that they do, it is as though the people of Egypt stagger
    like a drunken person staggers and slips in his own vomit.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
