Exegesis
The adversative conjunction vav {וְ | wə-} links the contrasting clause introduced by the Qal passive participle vetsafun {וְצָפוּן | wə-ṣāp̄ûn} ‘is stored up,’ which highlights the passive outcome for the sinner’s cheil {חֵיל | ḥêl} ‘wealth.’
In context — Proverbs 13:22
A good man leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the just .
