Exegesis
The concluding clause uses the preposition min {מִן | min} in u-min-yhwh {וּמִן־יְהוָה | û-min-yəhōwāh} ‘and from the LORD’, with the imperfect yasur {יָסוּר | yāsūr} ‘turns away’ governing libbo {לִבּוֹ | libbô} ‘his heart’, contrasting human dependence with divine loyalty and forming a chiastic structure.
