The plural form commonly occurs in clauses of executing or carrying out these actions, while Ezekiel 14:21 presents a construct singular associated with four named calamities.

   The plural absolute form occurs where punitive action is carried out against specified targets: in Exodus 12:12 the APB renders judgments against Egypt's gods amid the striking of firstborn, and in Ezekiel 5:15 it renders judgments against Jerusalem in anger and rebukes. In Exodus 6:6 and Exodus 7:4, the same plural stands with Israel's release from Egypt; in Proverbs 19:29, judgments are prepared for mockers alongside blows for fools.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB regularly presents the term with “judgments,” especially in clauses such as “execute judgments” or “carry out judgments.” Those renderings confirm the clauses' punitive setting without isolating every contribution of the Hebrew noun.
