In Job 20:6, the construct singular noun occurs in the clause about “his” loftiness ascending to heaven; the APB renders the verse, “If his loftiness ascends to heaven and his head touches the cloud,” presenting an image of extreme elevation.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Job 20:6, the APB presents the term within the phrase “his loftiness ascends to heaven.” This identifies the verse's presentation rather than a precise lexical equation.
