Exegesis
The vav-consecutive in wenapalta {וְנָפַלְתָּ | wənāpalṯā} together with the infinitive lehakhbid {לְהַכְבִּיד | ləhakbîḏ} forms an idiom of prideful self-exaltation.
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:19
You have said, “Behold, you have struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up to become proud . Now remain in your house. Why provoke yourself into disaster so that you may fall—both you and Judah with you?”
