complete verse (Jeremiah 9:11)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 9:11:

  • Kupsabiny: “Then God said,
    ‘I shall destroy Jerusalem to become a ruin
    to become caves where jackals are screaming,
    and the cities of Judah,
    I shall make those to become a wilderness.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “For the LORD said, ‘I will-destroy Jerusalem, and this will- now -become just a place-of-dwelling of the wild dogs. I will-make the towns of Juda into desolate and no one will-live there.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Yahweh also says, ‘I will cause Jerusalem to become a heap of ruins,
    and only jackals/wolves will live there.
    I will destroy the towns of Judah, with the result that they will be completely deserted;
    no one will live there.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
