Exegesis
The adversative conjunction vav {וְ־ | wə} introduces the contrasting clause, where the Hiphil imperfect yarshiʿa {יַרְשִׁיעַ | yār-šî-ʿa} ‘he will condemn’ parallels yafik, creating a clear cause-and-effect structure. In English, the divine subject is made explicit in the second clause and the term mezimot is rendered “wicked schemes” to reflect its moral intensity.
In context — Proverbs 12:2
A good person obtains favor from the LORD , but the LORD condemns a man of wicked schemes.
