complete verse (Jeremiah 50:23)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 50:23:

  • Kupsabiny: “The land of Babylon used to smash people with a hammer
    but now, the thing they used to smash others with has been broken to pieces.
    Look, how much Babylon has been subdued,
    when one looks at/compares with other communities
    over what has come to them,” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Babilonia is like a hammer that shattered the nations, but now it was smashed already. The nations were- very -astonished/stunned when they saw the destruction of Babilonia!” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
