Exegesis
The parallel clause u-šnōṯ rᵊ-šā‘îm {וּשְׁנוֹת רְשָׁעִ֣ים | ū-šnō-ṯ rᵊ-šā-ʿîm} ‘and the years of the wicked’ balances the structure, with the Qal imperfect tiqṣōr-nāh {תִּקְצֹרְנָה | tiqṣōr-nāh} indicating a passive reduction. This parallelism highlights the contrast between those who revere the LORD and the wicked.
In context — Proverbs 10:27
The fear of the LORD will add days , but the years of the wicked will be shortened.
