• Kupsabiny: “‘Tell all the people of this land together with the priests: In the seventy years that have passed, you have fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month. But do you (plur.) think that you were doing that fasting for me?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “when you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months over the past 70 years, did you really fast for me? ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “‘Talk to all the people of Israel including the priests, that their fasting and mourning every fifth and seventh month within (the period) of 70 years they did- not -do (it) for me.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “He said, ‘Tell the priests and all the other people of Judah that during the past 70 years, when they mourned and fasted during the fifth and seventh months of each year, it was not really me, Yahweh, whom they were honoring.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
