Exegesis
The second clause begins with wəʿal {וְעַל־ | wə-ʿal-} introducing the prepositional phrase YHWH {יְהוָה | Yəhōwāh} ‘the LORD’, where libbô {לִבּוֹ | libbô} ‘his heart’ serves as subject of the Qal imperfect verb yizʿap̄ {יִזְעַף | yizʿap̄} ‘gets angry’. The waw conveys contrast: self-inflicted ruin is paired with misplaced blame on God, reinforcing the proverb’s moral warning.
Root and etymology
z-ʿ-p

In context — Proverbs 19:3
