    In Deuteronomy 28:65, the masculine singular construct form occurs in an expression concerning the soul after the verse describes finding no rest, a quivering heart, and failing eyes. The APB renders the closing expression "sorrow of soul," confirming the verse's setting of inward distress.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Deuteronomy 28:65, the APB presents the clause as "sorrow of soul." This rendering confirms the clause's overall sense rather than isolating every contribution of the Hebrew form.
