Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 2:26:

all the people of Israel will feel ashamed
including their rulers and their leaders,
their priests and their prophets.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “‘Like a thief who is-put-to-shame when she/he is-caught, you (plur.) people of Israel will- also -be-put-to-shame. Yes, you (plur.) will-be-put-to-shame and your kings, officials, priests, and prophets.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Yahweh says this:
‘A robber is disgraced when he is caught.
And all of you, including your kings and priests and prophets, are similarly disgraced.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
