to a guilty wrongdoer
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל + masculine singular absolute adjective functioning substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective רָשָׁע denotes an actively wicked or legally guilty person, derived from the root meaning ‘to act wickedly’ or ‘to be guilty.’ The prefixed לָ marks the preposition ‘to,’ and the masculine singular absolute form is preserved in the singular rendering ‘wrongdoer.’ |
