Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 51:44:

and make him return what he has eaten.
Never shall other nations be coming and going to it
and the wall of Babylon will fall down.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I will-punish Bel the god of Babilonia. I will-have- him -vomit what he had-devoured. Nations will no longer come to worship him. And the walls of the Babilonia will-fall-down.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “And I will punish Bel, the god that the people of Babylon worship,
and I will cause the people to give back what they have stolen.
People of other nations will no longer come to worship Bel.
And the walls of Babylon will collapse.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
