Exegesis
The noun ben {בֵּן | bēn} ‘son’ precedes two parallel participles, mebish {מֵבִישׁ | mēbîš} ‘causing shame’ and umachpir {וּמַחְפִּיר | ū-maḥpîr} ‘bringing disgrace’, forming a chiastic structure that heightens moral rebuke. The coordinating waw before umachpir adds cumulative emphasis, and the participial clauses in English preserve the sense of ongoing reproach.
Root and etymology
ב־י־ש
