In Isaiah 32:6, the singular absolute noun occurs in the clause about speaking against the LORD; the APB renders the surrounding clause “by speaking error against the LORD.” In Nehemiah 4:2, the same form appears amid hostile questions about whether the weak Jews will restore, sacrifice, finish, or revive burned stones, though the APB does not show a distinct English correspondence for the noun.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 32:6, the APB includes “speaking error against the LORD.” In Nehemiah 4:2, its translation presents the surrounding taunts about rebuilding without an identifiable matching English expression.
