Exegesis
Two perfect verbs—Piel zikkiti {זִכִּיתִי | zîk-kî-tî} “I have made clean” and Qal taharti {טָהַרְתִּי | ṭa-har-tî} “I have purified”—appear without a conjunction, creating parallelism that highlights a self-proclaimed moral state.
In context — Proverbs 20:9
Who can assert, “I have cleansed my heart; I am pure from my sin?”
