Exegesis
The verse exhibits antithetic parallelism between megōraṯ {מְגוֹרַ֣ת | mə-ḡō-rāṯ} ‘fear’ and taʾăḇāṯ {תַאֲוַת | taʾăḇāṯ} ‘desire,’ each in construct chain with rāšāʿ {רָשָׁ֭ע | rā-šāʿ} ‘wicked’ and ṣaḏḏî-qîm {צַדִּיקִ֣ים | ṣaḏḏî-qîm} ‘righteous.’
In context — Proverbs 10:24
The fear of the wicked will come upon him, and the desire of the righteous He will grant.
