‘The city of Nineveh is destroyed. Is anyone mourning for it?’
Where is your comforter?’” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “And all who can-see you (plur.) will-stay-away and will-say, ‘Nineve is now ruined. None will-cry for her/it? There is no one to cry for her/it.’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

but absolutely no one will mourn for it.’
No one will regret Nineveh being destroyed!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
