Exegesis
The subsequent Hifil imperfect yaḇ-ʾîš {יַבְאִ֥ישׁ | yaḇ-ʾîš} ‘he-causes-disgust’ followed by the Qal imperfect wə-yaḥ-pîr {וְיַחְפִּֽיר | wə-yaḥ-pîr} ‘and-he-brings-disgrace’ creates a climactic sequence that intensifies the shameful fate of the wicked, reinforcing the proverb’s moral polarity.
In context — Proverbs 13:5
A righteous person hates falsehood, but a wicked person acts shamefully and brings disgrace.
