cha.neph describes persons or a people marked as godless or profane, including their conduct and fate.

The adjective marks a person, group, or nation as profane or godless in contexts of opposition to the upright, harmful conduct, judgment, and failed hope. It can qualify a nation in Isaiah 10:6 and people in expressions such as the assembly, heart, speech, and mockers.

1. Godless or profane persons, groups, and nation · dominant

   The singular masculine adjective identifies a profane nation in Isaiah 10:6 and stands over against the upright and innocent in Job 17:8. In Job 8:13 and Job 27:8, the APB renders clauses about the hope of such a person perishing or being questioned when God takes away his soul; Proverbs 11:9 places his lip in a clause about ruining a neighbor. The plural construct forms occur in descriptions of those “of heart” in Job 36:13 and of mockers in Psalm 35:16.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the adjective as “profane,” while Job 13:16, Job 15:34, and Job 34:30 use “godless.” Because the English is a whole-verse translation, these renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than fixed English equivalents.
