Exegesis
The negative particle lo {לֹא | lōʾ} ‘not’ begins the verse, negating the verb yo’il {יוֹעִ֣יל | yōʿîl} ‘it will profit’ and highlighting the futility of hon {הוֹן | hôn} ‘wealth’.
In context — Proverbs 11:4
Wealth will not profit on the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
