    In Proverbs 5:16, the Qal imperfect masculine plural form occurs in the clause about springs outside and streams in the streets; the APB renders the verse, "Your springs flow outside; streams of water are in the streets." In Zechariah 1:17, the Qal imperfect feminine plural form occurs with cities and good; the APB renders the clause, "My cities will again overflow with good."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the two clauses with "flow outside" for springs and "overflow with good" for cities. Because it is a whole-verse translation, these renderings show the verses' overall imagery rather than a fixed English equivalent.
