Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 35:16:
- Kupsabiny: “But Job has beaten his mouth (spoken a lot) for nothing
not knowing the words that he is saying.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “In this way Job has spoken worthless words,
[he] has only gathered words without insight."” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Job, what you (sing.) speak has no value. (It is) very clear that you (sing.) do not know what you (sing.) are-talking.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “You say things that are useless;
you say a lot of things without knowing what you are talking about.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
