- Kupsabiny: “God is saying, ‘Look, I shall first call many people to come and catch/take these people. Then, I shall call others to go around hunting for these people on every big and small mountain up to the passes/clefts.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘But now I will-send them first many enemies like fishermen that will-catch them. Their enemies are like also hunters who will-look for them on the mountains and in the caves.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But now I am summoning your enemies who will seize the people of Judah like fishermen catch fish. I am summoning those who will search for them on every mountain and hill, and in every cave, like hunters search for animals to kill.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
