In Job 41:25, the masculine singular construct form occurs in the verse's description of a creature rising and the mighty becoming afraid; the APB renders the surrounding scene, "When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; at his crashing they are beside themselves." The translation does not clearly isolate this noun's specific English counterpart.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Job 41:25, the APB presents the surrounding action and fear—"the mighty are afraid"—but, as a whole-verse translation, does not clearly identify a separate rendering for the noun.
