complete verse (Jeremiah 23:9)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 23:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “But concerning the prophets,
    my stomach/heart is hurting.
    I am trembling much
    and I am like a drunkard
    whom beer is ruling,
    on account of God and his holy words.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “As-if my heart is-going-to-break because of the lying prophets. My bones are-shaking/trembling, and as-if I am drunk because of the holy message of the LORD against them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “I am very shocked because of the sacred message that Yahweh has spoken about what will happen to the false prophets;
    it is as though all my bones shake.
    I stagger like a man who is drunk
    after drinking a lot of wine.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
