Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 10:14:
- Kupsabiny: “Every person who does not have understanding (of this) is stupid,
the crafted things mock the craftsmen
because those things that he himself shapes/forms are useless/worthless
they have no life inside them at all.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “The ones-who-worship the little-gods/false-gods (are) senseless and without wisdom. The silversmiths will-be- put -to-shame of their little-gods, for they are not true. They have no life.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “People are senseless and know very little ;
those who make idols are always disappointed
because their idols do nothing for them.
The images/statues that they make are not real gods;
they are lifeless.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
