she will bring herself to ruin

Rootחבל (ḥ-b-l)
Core Meaningsto ruin, spoil, destroy, act corruptly, bring to harm
Semantic Rangeto be ruined, be corrupted, be morally spoiled, suffer destruction, bring harm upon oneself, act destructively
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, חבל language often conveys moral corruption leading to self-destruction. The reflexive nuance underscores a theological theme: ruin is frequently portrayed not merely as imposed judgment but as the outcome of one’s own corrupt actions.
Morphological NotesAramaic verb, Ithpael (reflexive/passive) imperfect, 3rd feminine singular (AVMi3fs). The prefixed ת and internal doubling mark the reflexive stem; the form indicates incomplete or future action.
Rendering RationaleThe Aramaic verb derives from חבל, conveying the idea of ruin or destructive harm. The form תִתְחַבַּל is third feminine singular imperfect in the reflexive (Ithpael) stem, indicating that the subject (feminine singular) brings ruin upon herself or comes into a state of ruin; hence, "she will bring herself to ruin" preserves both the root sense and the feminine singular morphology.
