    In Isaiah 25:10, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs in the comparison “like the treading of straw in the dunghill”; the APB renders the verse's image of Moab being trodden down under the LORD.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 25:10, the APB presents the term within the image “the treading of straw in the dunghill.” This identifies the verse-level image rather than a precise token-for-token rendering.
