complete verse (Jeremiah 5:7)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 5:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “God is asking,
    ‘Why should I forgive you, oh city?
    For your people have refused me, and they worship idols.
    I fed them until (they) were satisfied
    but they lived as a promiscuous person
    wandering around to the houses of female prostitutes.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The LORD said, ‘Why should I forgive you (plur.)? For even your (plur.) children rejected me and swore in the name of a not true gods. I supplied their needs yet they still committed-adultery-with-a-woman and crammed/squeezed in into the houses of women who sell their body.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
