    In Isaiah 9:17, the Hithpael sequential imperfect form occurs in the clause concerning every mouth and folly, followed by the statement that anger has not turned away. The APB renders the surrounding verse as an indictment of godlessness and evil, though it does not isolate this form with a corresponding English word.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 9:17, the APB presents the verse's judgment setting, including "every mouth speaks folly," but its translation does not clearly identify a separate English rendering for this form.
