Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Micah 3:4:

He shall turn (his) back on you on that day
because you are doing sinful deeds.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “At that time, the leaders will plead
the LORD for help.
But he will not answer them.
Because of the evil deeds they have done
he will at that time turn his face from them.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “In the time that you (plur.) will-be-punished you (plur.) will-ask-for help from the LORD, but he will- not -help you (plur.); he will-turn-away from you (plur.) because of your (plur.) evil deeds.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
