    In Job 17:1, the Niphal perfect plural form occurs in Job’s statement about his days; the APB renders the clause, “my days are extinguished,” alongside “My spirit is broken” and “the graves are ready for me.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Job 17:1, the APB presents the relevant clause as “my days are extinguished.” This rendering confirms the verse’s overall depiction rather than isolating every detail of the Hebrew form.
