Conjunction in a sequence of contrasts · dominant
In Isaiah 3:24, כִּי is tagged as a conjunction in a verse that sets repeated “instead of” contrasts, moving from spice and a belt to decay and a rope, and ending with branding in place of beauty. The APB renders the verse as a series of replacement outcomes, but does not identify a separate English equivalent for the conjunction.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 3:24, the APB presents a sequence of contrasts introduced through repeated “instead of” phrasing. It does not isolate the conjunction’s individual rendering.
