    In Job 30:22, the form תשוה is a Pual imperfect, second masculine singular, within a direct address: after “You lift me up on the wind” and “you make me ride on it,” the APB renders the final action, “and dissolve me in the storm.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Job 30:22, the APB presents the clause as “and dissolve me in the storm.” This identifies the verse’s portrayal rather than a precise one-word rendering.
