    In Ezekiel 23:32, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs in the statement about the sister's deep, broad cup becoming an object of laughter and derision. The APB renders the clause “it will become an object of laughter and of much derision,” though its translation does not independently align each English word to the Hebrew term.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezekiel 23:32, the APB presents the clause as “an object of laughter and of much derision.” The term's precise English correspondence cannot be isolated beyond this clause-level presentation.
