- Newari: βYou, however, by saying ‘the LORD’S table is defiled’ and ‘the food on it also is defiled you are showing contempt to my name.’ β (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: βBut you (plur.) on-the-other-hand you (plur.) put-to-shame my name by saying that my altar (is) dirty and what are-being-offered there have no value.β (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
