  • Hiligaynon: “I am against you (plur.), those from-Jerusalem, you (plur.) who are living/dwelling on the strong place in the valleys/plains on top of the mountain. You (plur.) boast saying, ‘We (incl.) will- not -be-harmed here! No one can-attack our (incl.) strong place!’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “I will fight against you people of Jerusalem,
    you who live on top of a rocky hill above the valley.
    I will fight against you people who boast, saying,
    ‘No one can attack us and break through our defenses.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
