Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 6:17:

  But you refused to listen
  saying,
  ‘We are not listening to those words.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “I chose watchmen to say to you (plur.), ‘You (plur.) listen for the sound of the trumpet as warning.’ But you (plur.) said, ‘We (incl.) will- not -listen.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “I sent my prophets who were like watchmen.
  They said, ‘Listen carefully when we blow the trumpets to warn you that your enemies are approaching,’
  but you said, ‘No, we do not want to listen.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
