he perished
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
has perished
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | SIBI-P1 'he perished' is not accurate in context; the verb is in the perfect and refers to the state of something (my endurance/hope) having perished, not a person. The impersonal form 'has perished' fits the context. |
