    In Isaiah 16:4, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause announcing that this figure “has ended”; the APB places that announcement beside the ending of violence and the trampler from the land.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 16:4, the APB renders the relevant clause “for the extortioner has ended.” This rendering identifies the clause's presentation rather than establishing a finer distinction.
