- Hiligaynon: “Now, you (sing.) go, and tell this message to Israel. I, the LORD, is-saying: You (sing.) return, Israel who (is) not faithful, for I (am) compassionate. I will- not -be-angry with you (sing.) until whenever.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

‘Yahweh says this to you Israeli people who have turned away from him:
I am merciful.
I will not continue to be angry with you forever.
So return to me.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
