Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 17:23:

• Kupsabiny: “But your forefathers were stiff-necked (dry-headed) so that they did not listen to what I was saying, and (they) ignored me. They made the heads deaf, refused to hear my words and did not follow my will.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “but they never listened to me. They are hard headed! They would not accept my disciplining to them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “but they did not listen to me or obey me. When I did things to correct them, they stubbornly refused to pay attention to what I said or to accept it.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
