Exegesis
A coordinating conjunction introduces ū-rə-šā-ʿîm {וּרְשָׁעִים | ū-rə-šā-ʿîm} ‘wicked ones’, negated by lōʾ {לֹא | lōʾ} before the imperfect yiš-kə-nû {יִשְׁכְּנוּ | yiš-kə-nû} ‘dwell’.
The noun ’ā-reṣ {אָרֶץ | ’ā-reṣ} ‘land’ designates the place of habitation. This VSO order and antithetic parallelism highlight the contrast between perpetual security and exclusion. In translation, subjects are placed before verbs to preserve the Hebrew emphasis on agent prominence and to maintain the antithetical balance.
In context — Proverbs 10:30
The righteous will never be shaken, but the wicked will not dwell in the land .
