In Deuteronomy 32:22 and Jeremiah 15:14, perfect forms occur in clauses about a fire in anger that burns; the APB renders these clauses with “fire has been kindled” and “a fire is kindled.” In Isaiah 50:11, the active participle describes those who kindle a fire, and the APB also speaks of arrows “you have kindled”; Jeremiah 17:4 likewise places a perfect form in a clause concerning fire in anger that will burn.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB presents the fire clauses as “has been kindled” or “is kindled,” and Isaiah 50:11 uses “kindle” and “have kindled.” These renderings confirm the clauses' fire imagery rather than fixing a separate English equivalent for every form.
