• Hiligaynon: “But if there is a nation who will- not -obey me, I will- surely -drive- them -out of their land and destroy. I, the LORD, (am) the-(one) saying this.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “But I will expel any nation whose people refuse to obey me, and I will destroy that nation and its people. That will surely happen because I, Yahweh, have said it.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
