Exegesis
The noun pair sekher emet {שֶׂכֶר אֱמֶת | sə-kher ʾə-met} ‘reward of truth’ forms a construct state expressing result. Hebrew participles convey ongoing character or habitual action, and the parallel structure highlights the moral contrast. In translation, participles were rendered as finite verbs, and construct phrases were translated with “of” to preserve the Hebrew relationship.
