All three occurrences use the masculine singular absolute noun. In Job 37:2 the APB renders a moaning that comes out from lips; in Psalm 90:9 it renders the finishing of years “like a moan”; and in Ezekiel 2:10 it places the term in writing with laments and woe.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “moaning” in Job 37:2 and Ezekiel 2:10, and “moan” in Psalm 90:9. These renderings confirm the verses’ presentation without isolating a precise English equivalent in each clause.
