Exegesis
This pattern is mirrored by the construct veshalvat kesilim {וְשַׁלְוַת כְּסִילִים | wə-šal-ḇāṯ kə-śi-lîm} ‘complacency of fools’ and the Hiphil imperfect teabdem {תְּאַבְּדֵם | tə-ʾab-bē-dem} ‘will destroy them.’ The synonymous parallelism of noun–verb pairs underscores reciprocal outcomes of moral failure, and the Hiphil stem conveys volitional action while the coordinating conjunction links the paired clauses.
