SIBI-P1 Translation H7043-49
he will declare you contemptible
| Morphological Notes | Piel imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular with 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the action from simple lightness to actively treating or declaring someone as insignificant or of little worth. The imperfect 3ms with 2ms suffix yields "he will" acting upon "you" (masculine singular). |
