enemies
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.

your hostile-ones
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle masculine plural construct of אֹיֵב with 2nd person masculine plural suffix ("your"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is the Qal active participle of איב functioning substantivally, meaning "one who is hostile." The masculine plural construct with 2mp suffix is preserved as "your," yielding "your hostile-ones" to reflect both plurality and pronominal attachment. |
