Exegesis
The second clause parallels this with the participle so-ne {שׂוֹנֵא | sô-nê} ‘one who hates’ governing tokhachat {תוֹכַחַת | tō-kha-khaṯ} ‘reproof’ as its object, followed by the imperfect verb ya-mut {יָמוּת | yā-mûṯ} ‘he will die,’ expressing the resulting judgment. This syntactic pairing underscores the consistency of Hebrew parallelism and the inevitability of consequence, preserved in English by maintaining the cause + effect sequence and participial nuance.
Root and etymology
