Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 3:23:
- Kupsabiny: “Those things that we were worshipping on the mountain/hill did not save/help us at all. The help for Israel comes only from our God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “(It is) really true that our (excl.) worship to the little-gods/false-gods on the mountains is very wrong. (It is) in you (sing.) alone the salvation of Israel, O LORD our (excl.) God.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “We did not get any help from the idols that we worshiped on the hilltops;
we did not get any help from making all that noise up there.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
