Exegesis
The causative imperfect teqi’enna {תְקִיאֶ֑נָּה | tə-qî-ʾen-nā} ‘you will vomit it up’ signals the certain physical outcome, while the conjunction with Hifil perfect ve-shikhata {וְ֝שִׁחַתָּ | wə-ši-ḥaṭ-tā} ‘and you have destroyed’ adds a parallel consequence.
In context — Proverbs 23:8
The morsel you have eaten you will vomit up, and you will ruin your pleasant words .
