Exegesis
The focus shifts metaphorically with the Qal participle bōnēh {בֹּנֶה | bōnēh} ‘building’ in wə-hū bōnēh ḥayîṣ {וְהוּא בֹּנֶה חַיִץ | wə-hū bōnēh ḥayîṣ} ‘and he is building a wall’, followed by ṭāḥîm {טָחִים | ṭāḥîm} ‘plastering’ in wə-hinnām ṭāḥîm ʾôtô ṭāp̄ēl {וְהִנָּם טָחִים אֹתוֹ תָּפֵֽל | wə-hinnām ṭāḥîm ʾôtô ṭāp̄ēl} ‘and behold, they plaster it with plaster’. The use of Qal participles conveys ongoing, habitual action, emphasizing repeated deception and superficial remedies that mask structural faults.
In context — Ezekiel 13:10
Because, and also because they have led my people astray , saying “Peace,” and there is no peace; and when he builds a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash .
