    In Ezekiel 21:32, the same feminine singular absolute noun is used three times within the judgment announcement. The APB renders the verse with destruction imagery: “You will become fuel for the fire; your blood will be shed in the land; you will not be remembered,” though the translation does not identify a separate English equivalent for each occurrence.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezekiel 21:32, the APB presents the surrounding judgment through “fuel for the fire,” shed blood, and forgotten remembrance. Its precise rendering of each occurrence is unclear.
