Exegesis
The conjunction wə-lets {וְלֵץ | wə-lêts} ‘and a scoffer’ introduces the antithetic parallel, culminating in the negative nominal clause lō-šā-ma‘ gə-‘ā-rāh {לֹא־שָׁמַע גְּעָרָה | lō-šā-ma‘ gə-‘ā-rāh} ‘does not hear rebuke.’ This chiastic antithesis underscores the contrast between the receptive and the resistant.
