Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Lamentations 2:3:

  • Kupsabiny: “God’s anger rose up
    and he broke the power of Israel.

    when the enemies attacked.
    He destroyed the house of Jacob like fire,
    that destroys everything.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “In his great anger

    he has caused Israel to not be powerful any more.
