Exegesis
The parallel construct chains kaʿavon hadoreš {כַּֽעֲוֺן֙ הַדֹּרֵ֔שׁ | ka-ʿă-wō-n ha-dō-rēš} ‘as the iniquity of the inquirer’ and kaʿavon hanavi {כַעֲוֺ֥ן הַנָּבִ֖יא | ka-ʿă-wō-n ha-nā-ḇîʾ} ‘as the iniquity of the prophet’ employ comparative prepositions to equate liability.
The participle hadoreš {הַדֹּרֵשׁ | ha-dō-rēš} functions as the first agent, paired with hanavi {הַנָּבִיא | ha-nā-ḇîʾ} as the second agent.
