SIBI-P1 Translation H4672-52
finders of
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, active participle, masculine plural, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine plural expresses "those who find," and the construct state requires a following complement, hence "finders of." This preserves the root sense of discovering or encountering while reflecting the masculine plural participial form. |

the ones finding me
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed 'finders of' to 'the ones finding me' for consistency and clarity, as the participle here is plural and refers to people who find 'me' (wisdom in context), matching the direct object. |
