SIBI-P1 H2865-09
you (masculine singular) be shattered
| Morphological Notes | Verb from חתת in the Niphal stem; attested here as imperfect/jussive forms, primarily second masculine singular (with one third feminine singular occurrence). The Niphal conveys a passive or reflexive state of being broken or undone. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem expresses a passive or reflexive sense, indicating becoming shattered or broken down rather than actively shattering. Rendering it "you (masculine singular) be shattered" preserves the second person masculine singular morphology and reflects the root idea of inward collapse that underlies the common translation "be dismayed." |
