Exegesis
The negative particle lo {לֹ֣א | lōʾ} negates the Piel imperfect tevorach {תְבֹרָֽךְ | təvōräḥ} ‘will be blessed,’ constructing a clear antithesis between early haste and later consequence.
In context — Proverbs 20:21
An inheritance grabbed too quickly at the beginning will not be blessed in the end .
