Exegesis
The closing clause uses veod {וְע֥וֹד | wəʿôḏ} ‘and still’ to add a continuing, contrasting reality, while the participle mashchitim {מַשְׁחִיתִֽים | mašḥîtîm} ‘acting corruptly’ portrays an ongoing, habitual corruption among the people in contrast to the king’s general uprightness.
In context — 2 Chronicles 27:2
He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD , in keeping with all that his father Uzziah had done; only he did not enter into the temple of the LORD, and still the people were acting corruptly.
