SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
I will bear
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed 'I lift' (P1) to 'I will bear' to fit the idiomatic and contextual use of נָשָׂא in this context: 'to bear' suffering or punishment fits the subject and context of the verse. SILEX acknowledges metaphorical bearing. |
