    In Jeremiah 10:11, the determined feminine singular form occurs in the declaration concerning gods that did not make the heavens and the earth; the APB renders the clause "shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Jeremiah 10:11, the APB includes "the earth" in the clause about where the gods will perish. Its exact correspondence to the Aramaic form cannot be isolated beyond the clause context.
