In Jeremiah 14:9, the Niphal participle masculine singular absolute occurs in a comparison asking why the LORD should be like a man in such a state. The APB renders the comparison as "like a man confused," followed by the parallel image of "a warrior unable to save."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Jeremiah 14:9, the APB presents the comparison with "a man confused." The precise contribution of the Hebrew form cannot be isolated beyond the verse's portrayal of bewilderment and inability to save.
