Exegesis
The particle ve- {וְ} introduces a shift to the second clause where ashir {עָשִׁיר | ʿā-šîr} pairs with ya’aneh {יַעֲנֶה | yă-‘ă-neh}, followed by azot {עַזּוֹת | ‘ă-zôt} functioning adverbially to intensify the manner of response. This structure highlights the rhetorical contrast between the poor’s humble petitions and the rich’s forceful replies.
In context — Proverbs 18:23
The poor person speaks in pleas , but the rich person replies with harshness .
