  • Kupsabiny: “And when Josiah was ruling, God said to me, ‘Have you seen what Israel has done the one who goes back and forth? (He/She) has abandoned me and went around doing prostitution on every high hill and under every green tree.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “During the reign of Josia, the LORD said to me, ‘Have- you (sing.) -seen what the unfaithful Israel has-done? She worshipped the little-gods/false-gods on every high mountain and under every leafy tree. She is like a woman who committed-adultery-with-man.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “One day when Josiah was the king of Judah, Yahweh said to me, ‘Have you seen what the people of Israel have done? They have turned away from me, like a woman who has abandoned her husband and sleeps with other men. They have gone up on every hilltop and under every big tree and worshiped idols there.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
