Exegesis
Finally, the Nifal imperfect yillavet {יִלָּבֵט | yil-lā-veṯ} ‘will be ruined’ conveys reflexive downfall as a direct consequence of foolish talk. The Hebrew parallelism (wise/take vs. fool/ruin) and construct-state relationships are preserved in the formal rendering to maintain rhetorical balance, while the dynamic translation smooths phrasings for contemporary clarity.
