Exegesis
The vav-consecutive va-yesallef {וַיְסַלֵּף | wa·yə·śal·lêp̄} ‘and he distorts’ introduces a contrasting clause, followed by divrei {דִבְרֵי | diḇ·rê} ‘words of’ + boged {בֹּגֵד | bō·gêḏ} ‘traitor’. This parallelism juxtaposes divine preservation of understanding with the subversion of treacherous speech, and the vav-consecutive maintains Hebrew narrative flow in English.
Root and etymology
b-g-dbet–gimel–dalet
“to act treacherously”
In context — Proverbs 22:12
The eyes of the LORD keep knowledge , but He overturns the words of the traitor.
