    In Job 7:20, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in Job's question about why he has been made such an object before the watcher of humanity; the APB renders the clause, "Why have you made me your target so that I have become a burden to myself?"

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Job 7:20, the APB presents the clause with "your target." This rendering confirms the verse's overall complaint rather than isolating every contribution of the noun.
