Exegesis
An adversative vav signals contrast with kesil {כְסִיל | kə-sîl} ‘fool’, leading into the participles mitabber {מִתְעַבֵּר | mit-ʿab-bēr} ‘becomes enraged’ and voteach {וּבוֹטֵחַ | wə-vo-tē-aḥ} ‘is confident’. This chiastic structure contrasts reverent caution leading to avoidance of harm with rash anger leading to false security.
In context — Proverbs 14:16
A wise person fears and turns away from evil, but the fool boils over and is confident.
