Exegesis
The adverb gam {גַּם | gam} with the pronoun shenehem {שְׁנֵיהֶֽם | šənêhêm} ‘both of them’ marks inclusion of both subjects. Fronting the participles places human actions in the foreground, heightening the contrast with the LORD’s evaluative stance.
In context — Proverbs 17:15
He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous—both are an abomination to the LORD .
