   Plural noun forms denote bodily affliction in several settings. In Psalm 103:3 the construct form occurs in the clause the APB renders “he heals all your diseases”; in 2 Chronicles 21:19 the absolute plural occurs where the APB renders a disease continuing day after day and causing death in great pain. Jeremiah 14:18 and Jeremiah 16:4 place the construct and absolute plural forms in scenes of sickness and deadly diseases.
