complete verse (Jeremiah 9:7)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 9:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “So the God of power is saying,
    ‘I shall come and make them go through the fire of pain/punishment
    so they can become clean.
    What else is there that I can do to my people
    for their great sin/disobedience?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Therefore I, the LORD Almighty, says that I will-refine my people like a metal, and I will-test them. What else can I do with them?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Therefore I, the Commander of the armies of angels, say this:
    Listen carefully to what I say: I will cause my people to experience great afflictions,
    like a metalworker puts metal in a hot fire to completely burn out the impure bits.
    Because of all the evil things that my people have done,
    there is absolutely nothing else that I can do.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
