Senses in use

  1. Defilement in a confession of sin · dominant

    In Isaiah 64:5, the plural absolute noun occurs in a clause of confession: the APB renders the surrounding verse, "Behold, you were angry, and we sinned; will you be angry forever, and shall we be saved?" The verse is read as a whole, so its specific rendering of the noun cannot be isolated.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 64:5, the APB presents the verse as a confession of sin and divine anger but does not transparently isolate an English equivalent for this noun.
