Exegesis
The verse opens with the prepositional conjunction tachat {תַּ֭חַת | tă-ḥaṯ} ‘under, because’ introducing a causal basis, immediately followed by the coordinating conjunction ki {כִּי־ | kî} ‘for.’
The perfect verb sānû {שָׂ֣נְאוּ | śā·ʼănû} ‘they hated’ expresses a completed rejection of the noun dā·ʻaṯ {דָ֑עַת | dā·ʻaṯ} ‘knowledge.’
In context — Proverbs 1:29
Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD .
