Exegesis
The causal conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for’ introduces the parallel Qal statements asah {עָשָׂה | ’ā·śāh} ‘it makes’ and ya'aseh-lo {יַעֲשֶׂה־לוֹ | ya·‘ă·śeh·lô} ‘he will make for him,’ creating synonymous intensification with kenafayim {כְנָפַיִם | kᵉ·nā·p̄ā·yim} ‘wings’ and the simile kenesher {כְּנֶשֶׁר | kᵉ·nê·šêr} ‘like an eagle.’
In context — Proverbs 23:5
Will you set your eyes on it—and it is gone? For surely it makes itself wings, like an eagle, and flies away toward the heavens.
