Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 3:21:
- Kupsabiny: “This person is one who is waiting for death without dying,
he wants death very much instead of wealth.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “They are waiting for death, but death does not come.
They seek for it more than for wealth buried in the earth.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “They long to die, but they do not die. They search for death even more than the looking of man for wealth which is-hidden.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “They long/want to die, but they do not die.
They desire to die more than people desire to find a hidden treasure.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
