I will tear apart

Morphological NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol) 1st common singular of the root טרף. The form expresses simple active action performed by the speaker: "I will/shall tear."
Rendering RationaleThe verb is in the Qal stem, expressing the simple active sense of the root טרף, "to tear or rend." The imperfect 1st common singular form conveys "I will" (or "I do" in ongoing sense), so "I will tear apart" preserves both the core imagery of violent rending and the first-person singular verbal form.
