In Isaiah 22:2, the absolute plural occurs in the description of a city full of loud activity; the APB renders the verse “A city full of shouts, a roaring, jubilant town.” In Job 36:29 and Job 39:7, construct plurals occur with thunderings and with an oppressor, while Zechariah 4:7 again uses the absolute plural as the top stone is brought out; the APB renders “with shouts of 'Grace, grace to it!'”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the surrounding clauses with “shouts” in Isaiah 22:2, Job 39:7, and Zechariah 4:7, and with “thunderings” in Job 36:29. These renderings confirm the clauses’ audible, forceful context rather than supply a precise separate translation for each form.
