the iniquity
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, singular, absolute state, with definite article; gender attested as both in usage. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from a root meaning "to twist" or "distort," and "iniquity" in English preserves the sense of moral crookedness or distortion. The definite article and singular form are reflected in "the iniquity." |
