Exegesis
The adversative conjunction introduces a contrasting second clause with the Qal participle ve-choseh {וְחֹסֶ֖ה | wə-ḥō-seh} ‘takes refuge’ followed by the locative be-moto {בְמוֹת֣וֹ | bə-mō-tō} ‘in his death’, highlighting the assured shelter for the tsaddiq {צַדִּֽ͏ִיק | ṣad-dīq} ‘righteous one’. This chiastic parallelism between expulsion and refuge reinforces the proverb’s moral antithesis.
Root and etymology
