   In Ezekiel 12:19, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the announcement that Jerusalem's inhabitants will eat bread in anxiety and drink water in horror as the land is made desolate. In Ezekiel 4:16, the same form stands in the forecast of bread eaten by weight and water drunk by measure; the APB renders the clause "and in horror."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Ezekiel 12:19 and Ezekiel 4:16, the APB presents the relevant drinking clause with "in horror." This confirms the verses' portrayal without isolating a precise English equivalent.
