Exegesis
The second clause shifts agency: the Qal imperfect tevo'ennu {תְּבוֹאֶֽנּוּ | tə-vō-ʾēn-nū} ‘it will come to him’ with its pronominal suffix places the arrival of evil as the grammatical subject. The adversative vav functions like “but,” heightening the moral contrast and reinforcing poetic justice.
In context — Proverbs 11:27
Whoever seeks good will find favor , but whoever searches for evil, it will come upon him .
