Exegesis
The second clause, introduced by vav, presents the consequence: ve-einei banav {וְעֵינֵי בָנָיו | wə-‘ê-nê bā-nāyw} is a construct chain functioning as the subject (“the eyes of his sons”), and tiklenah {תִּכְלֶנָה | tik-lē-nāh} ‘will fail’ depicts wasting away. The pairing of betrayal-for-gain with generational loss forms a compact cause-and-result proverb: private treachery yields lasting family ruin.
In context — Job 17:5
He who informs against friends for a share, even the eyes of his sons will fail.
