Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Isaiah 9:12:

and the Philistines shall come from the West.
All will come to destroy Israel,
but the anger of God will not subside
since he still wants to punish those people.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “The Arameans from the east and the Philistines from the west,
having opened [their] mouths, will swallow Israel.
Still, His anger has not yet subsided,
and His hand is lifted.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “They will-be-destroyed by the Arameanhon in the east and by the Filistinhon in the west, who were like fierce animal who are now ready to devour. But the anger of the LORD still will- not -be-stopped. He is still ready to punish them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
