a.va.yah refers to wrongdoing, attested once in a verse whose translation does not isolate the term.

a.va.yah denotes wrongdoing in its single attestation, Daniel 4:24, though the APB translation presents the verse’s decree without isolating the term’s contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 4:24 the APB presents an interpretation and “the decree of the Most High,” without a one-to-one English equivalent that can be assigned to this term.
