Desire failing amid decline · dominant
The feminine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause where desire fails; in Ecclesiastes 12:5 the APB renders the verse with failing desire alongside fear, physical weakening imagery, and a person's going to an eternal home.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ecclesiastes 12:5, the APB presents the clause as "desire fails." The noun's precise English correspondence cannot be isolated beyond that clause-level presentation.
