Exegesis

The verse presents two parallel participial constructions: otse {עֹצֶה | ʿō-ṣê} ‘he closes’ with einav {עֵינָיו | ʿē-na-v} ‘his eyes’ and koretz {קֹרֵץ | kō-reṣ} ‘he compresses’ with sefatav {שְׂפָתָיו | sə-fa-tā-v} ‘his lips’.

In context — Proverbs 16:30

He who shuts his eyes to plan perversions , purses his lips , and brings evil to completion.
