he will shatter
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active force of the root שׁבר, indicating a direct act of breaking or smashing. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form conveys "he will" as a future or incomplete action performed by a masculine singular subject. |
