  • Kupsabiny: “They say to those people who refuse to listen to me,
    ‘God has said that you shall get peace.’
    And the rebels, they say to those (people),
    ‘Nothing shall hurt you.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “This is what they always say to the people who criticize me and follow their flinty/hard heart: ‘Your (plur.) well-being/situation will- surely -become well, says the Lord. No harm will-happen to you (plur.).’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They habitually say to those who hate me,
    ‘Yahweh says that you will have peace.’
