Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 7:20:
- Kupsabiny: “So I God am saying: I shall pour out on/finish my anger and punishment on this place, these people, these animals, every tree in the land and all food/crops. That anger shall become very heavy/severe on them and not subside.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “So I, the Lord GOD, says, ‘I will-have- this land -experience of my fierce anger — to the people and animals, to the trees and to the harvests. My anger is like a fire that can not be-quenched.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “So Yahweh the Lord says this:
‘Because I am extremely angry with what happens at this place,
I will punish these people severely ;
my being very angry will be like a fire that will not be extinguished,
and I will destroy the people, their animals, their fruit trees, and their crops.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
