The noun names the disgrace attached to conduct, judgment, or hostile reproach. In Ezekiel 16:52 the APB renders the clause with a command to “bear your shame” after sins are named; in Ezekiel 32:24 it describes those who “bear their shame” among the slain. In Isaiah 30:3 security in Pharaoh is said to become shame, while Psalm 109:29 portrays opponents clothed and wrapped with it.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the verses, the APB variously uses “shame,” “disgrace,” “dishonor,” and “reproach” in the surrounding clauses. These variations show the verses’ presentation rather than fixed separate renderings of the noun.
