and flee on the day when death is coming.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “On that day even the strongest soldier
will drop their weapons and run for their lives."
Says the LORD” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “On that day that I will-punish you (plur.), even your (plur.) bravest soldiers will-flee naked. I, the LORD, am-saying this.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

when they try to flee on the day that I get rid of them.
That will surely happen because I, Yahweh, have said it.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
