Exegesis
The conjunction vav links to the second clause, where the Piel imperfect yedabber {יְדַבֵּר | yə-dab-bēr} conveys volitional speech, and tahpukhoth {תַּהְפֻּכוֹת | ta-ḥpu-kōṯ} denotes twisted utterances. The parallel structure emphasizes the progression from visual stimulus to internal response to distorted speech. Imperfects are rendered in future tense to capture the cautionary tone.
In context — Proverbs 23:33
Your eyes will see strange things , and your heart will speak perverse things .
