  • Hiligaynon: “‘Please ask the LORD to help us (excl.), for King Nebuchadnezzar of Babilonia is-attacking us (excl.). Perhaps the LORD will-do a miracle like what he did in the time-past, so-that the attacking of Nebuchadnezzar would stop.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘The army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon is attacking Judah. Please speak to Yahweh for us. Ask him if he will help us. Perhaps he will force Nebuchadnezzar’s army to leave by performing a miracle for us, like the miracles he performed previously.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
