Exegesis
The passive yeshullach-bo {יְשֻׁלַּח־בּוֹ | yəšullāḥ-bō} expresses judicial dispatch “will be sent against him.” This structure sets up a cause–effect parallelism between human perversity and divine retribution.
In context — Proverbs 17:11
Surely an evil person seeks only rebellion, and a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
