complete verse (Micah 7:2)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Micah 7:2:

  • Kupsabiny: “There is no one in the land who can be trusted
    or even one person who is straight.
    Every person wants to commit murder,
    one (person) lies in wait for another wanting to kill/spear (him).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Faithful men have been swept from the earth
    There is not a single upright man.
    Everyone is waiting to kill,
    All men lay nets to hunt their own brothers” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “What I meant, I have not found any man in Israel who is faithful to God. There is none righteous man left. Everyone is looking for an opportunity to kill his fellowman, like a man waiting to trap his someone-to-be-caught.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
