    The feminine singular absolute form occurs in Jeremiah 32:19 within the statement that each person receives according to his ways and the fruit of his deeds. In Jeremiah 32:19 the APB renders the surrounding clause, “giving to each according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Jeremiah 32:19, the APB presents the clause with “the fruit of his deeds.” That wording confirms the verse's setting without isolating the term's exact English equivalent.
