Exegesis
The imperfect yē·rō·ʿaʿ {יֵרֽוֹעַ | yē·rō·ʿaʿ} ‘he will come to harm’ functions as a result clause. In translation, “but” conveys the adversative force of the second vav, while “will become” and “will come to harm” preserve the predictive and aspectual contours of the Hebrew imperfect.
In context — Proverbs 13:20
Whoever walks with wise men will become wise, but a companion of fools will be harmed .
