mo.qed denotes burning imagery, explicit in an enduring-fire question and less clearly reflected in a lament.

The attested use concerns burning imagery: Isaiah 33:14 explicitly places the plural form in a question about dwelling with enduring burnings, while Psalm 102:4 has a singular form in a lament whose APB wording does not isolate the term's contribution.

Senses in use

  1. Burning imagery · dominant

    In Isaiah 33:14, the plural construct form occurs in the question of who can sojourn with consuming fire and enduring burnings; the APB renders the clause "Who among us can sojourn with burnings of forever?" In Psalm 102:4, the singular absolute form occurs in the psalmist's lament about a stricken, withering heart, though the APB does not make the term's specific contribution clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 33:14, the APB presents the clause with "burnings of forever." In Psalm 102:4, its wording about vegetation and a withering heart does not visibly identify a corresponding English rendering.
