Exegesis
Instrumental agency appears in beyadeha {בְּיָדֶ֥יהָ | bə·yā·ḏe·hā} “with her hands,” and teheresennu {תֶהֶרְסֶֽנּוּ | te·her·se·n·nū} “she tears it down” is an imperfect verb indicating habitual action. The parallelism of building versus tearing down highlights the moral contrast between wisdom and folly.
