Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 11:20:
- Kupsabiny: “But sinners will not know what to do
looking for a way to flee.
The only thing they lack is for death to come.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “But the eyes of the wicked will get dim,
their way of escape will be closed,
and their last breath will be their only hope."” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “But the wicked-ones will-be-disappointed, and there will-be- no -(place)-to-flee, and their only hope is death.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “But wicked people will not be able to understand why bad things are happening to them;
they will not have any way to escape from their troubles.
The only thing that they will want to do is to die.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
