    In Job 10:1, the Niphal perfect feminine singular form occurs in the clause concerning the speaker's soul and life; the APB renders the verse, "My soul is weary of life," before the speaker gives free rein to complaint and speaks in bitterness of soul.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Job 10:1, the APB presents the clause as "My soul is weary of life." This reflects the clause's overall presentation rather than a fixed one-word rendering.
