    The noun occurs as the material in Jeremiah 38:6, where two absolute forms are present and the APB renders Jeremiah sinking in "mud" in the pit. Construct forms occur in street-trampling comparisons in 2 Samuel 22:43, Micah 7:10, and Zechariah 10:5; in Isaiah 57:20 the absolute form belongs to the waters that cast up "mire and mud," while Nahum 3:14 places it in the preparation involving mud, clay, and brick.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses "mud" in Jeremiah 38:6 and Nahum 3:14, and "mire and mud" in Isaiah 57:20. It also uses street-trampling imagery in 2 Samuel 22:43, Micah 7:10, and Zechariah 10:5; Its wording does not isolate the noun in every occurrence.
