Exegesis
The negative particle lo {לֹא | lō’} precedes the qal imperfect yechdal {יֶחְדַּל | yeḥ-dāl} “ceases,” with pesha {פָּשַׁע | pā-ša‘} as the verbal subject, forming an absolute clause.
In context — Proverbs 10:19
When words are many, transgression does not cease, but one who restrains his lips is discerning.
