your-enemy
An adversary or enemy, specifically one who bears enmity or hostility toward another individual or group. The term encompasses both personal and collective opposition, often referring to enemies in armed conflict, but also extending to any context of antagonism or active opposition. In the Hebrew Bible, it designates those opposed to individuals (e.g., David's personal enemies), to the people as a group (Israelites' national foes), or, metaphorically, to abstract or cosmic adversaries.

SIBI-P1 Translation H341-43
your enemies
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural construct + 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle of איב functioning nominally, meaning "those who are hostile." The masculine plural construct with a 2ms suffix yields "your enemies," preserving both number and possession. |
