Exegesis
The verbs yissakh {יִסַּ֥ח | yissakh} and veyatzev {וְ֝יַצֵּ֗ב | wəyatśêb} are Qal imperfect forms, with vav consecutive on veyatzev marking an adversative shift. Construct chains link nouns to their descriptors, and the antithetic conjunction highlights God’s retributive action against the proud alongside His protective action for the vulnerable.
In context — Proverbs 15:25
The LORD will tear down the house of the proud , but He will establish the boundary of the widow.
