Exegesis
The sequential imperfects osif {אוֹסִ֗יף | ʾôsîp̄} and avakshenu {אֲבַקְשֶׁ֥נּוּ | ʾăvaqšenû} then express the speaker’s repeated volition, underscoring the cyclical compulsion. Hebrew parallelism and verb aspects highlight the stubborn cycle of intoxication and obliviousness.
In context — Proverbs 23:35
They struck me, but I was not sick; they beat me, yet I did not know it. When shall I awake ? I will add, and I will seek it again .
