Exegesis
In the first clause, the construct ed-kezavim {עֵד־כְּזָבִ֥ים | ʿed-kə-zā-vîm} ‘false witness’ functions as subject with the Qal imperfect yoved {יֹאבֵד | yō-ʾā-ḇēḏ} ‘will perish,’ depicting inevitable destruction.
In context — Proverbs 21:28
A false witness will perish, but a man who hears will speak with endurance.
