Exegesis
The clause closes with the resumptive pronoun hu {הוּא | hūʾ} and predicate noun kesil {כְּסִיל | ke-sîl} ‘fool,’ creating an antithetical parallelism that contrasts hidden hatred with exposed slander.
In context — Proverbs 10:18
One who covers hatred has lips of falsehood, and one who brings out slander is a fool.
