Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Lamentations 4:2:

• Kupsabiny: “The young men of Jerusalem were amazing in former times
  and they were like gold that was heavy
  but now they are looked upon
  as if they are just potsherds!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “The sons of Zion who were as precious as gold,
  have now become as clay dishes, works of the potter’s hand.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The residents of Zion are as-if like pure gold that had-faded or expensive stones that scattered in the streets. They were like precious gold before, but now they are-considered as-if-like pots that were just made by the potters.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “The young men of Jerusalem were as valuable as large amounts of gold,
  but now people consider that they are as worthless as ordinary clay pots.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
