Exegesis
The conjunction vav in ve-sone {וְשׂוֹנֵא | wə-sō-nē} ‘and hating’ introduces an antithetical clause, pairing sone {שׂוֹנֵא | sō-nē} ‘hates’ with matanot {מַתָּנוֹת | ma-tā-nôṯ} ‘gifts’ and establishing parallelism.
In context — Proverbs 15:27
Whoever unjustly gains profit troubles his own house, but he who hates gifts will live.
