   The masculine or feminine singular adjective is used in clauses about painful bodily or damaged conditions. In Isaiah 17:11 the APB renders a day marked by “incurable pain”; in Jeremiah 15:18, Jeremiah 30:12, and Jeremiah 30:15 it renders pain, a wound, and breaking as “incurable,” and Micah 1:9 similarly speaks of wounds. Job 34:6 places the adjective in a statement about an arrow described as incurable.

3. Becoming very ill · rare

   In 2 Samuel 12:15, the sequential imperfect Niphal verb occurs after the LORD struck the child; the APB renders the resulting condition as “he became very ill.”
