Exegesis

The second clause begins with u-ḡe-mûl {וּגְמוּל | u-ḡe-mûl} ‘and recompense’, followed by the construct chain ye-de-ʾā-ḏâm {יְדֵי־אָדָם | ye-de-ʾā-ḏâm} ‘hands of a person’, and the Hiphil verb yā-šîv {יָשִׁיב | yā-šîv} ‘he will return’, illustrating that deeds bear consequences. The balanced use of imperfect stems and repeated construct relationships underscores personal accountability for words and actions in a concise didactic parallelism.
