Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Proverbs 15:11:

then what can be said concerning what he knows about the thoughts of people?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “If matters of death
are not hidden from the Lord,
how could matters of the human heart
be hidden [from Him]?” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “If the LORD knows what is-happening in the place of the dead, much more he knows what is in the heart of man.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
