    In Joel 1:17, the feminine plural absolute form occurs in the clause about grains beneath clods; the APB renders the verse, “The grains have shriveled under their clods,” alongside desolate storehouses and withered grain.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Joel 1:17, the APB presents the clause as “The grains have shriveled under their clods.” This identifies the verse's presentation rather than a precise word-for-word rendering.
