Exegesis
The coordination velo {וְלֹא | wə-lōʾ} followed by the perfect in the intensive stem, kichadu {כִֽ֝חֲד֗וּ | kiḥădû}, forms a strong antithetical pairing: proclamation is matched by non-concealment, emphasizing transparency.
In context — Job 15:18
What wise men declare, they do not hide from their fathers.
