Exegesis
The verse uses antithetical parallelism by pairing two construct phrases—beit ge’im {בֵּ֣ית גֵּ֭אִים | bêyt gēʾı̂m} ‘house of the proud’ and gevul almanah {גְּב֣וּל אַלְמָנָֽה | gəbūl ʾalmānāh} ‘boundary of the widow.’
In context — Proverbs 15:25
The LORD will tear down the house of the proud , but He will establish the boundary of the widow.
