Exegesis
The conjunction vehem {וְהֵם | wə-hēm} introduces the second clause, where the Qal perfect yardu {יָרְדּוּ | yār·ḏû} ‘go down’ expresses complete downward motion.
In context — Proverbs 18:8
The words of a whisperer are like choice morsels ; they go down to the innermost parts of the belly.
