Exegesis
The parallel participial clause wə-nōṣēr {וְנֹצֵר | wə-nō-ṣēr} “and he who guards” shifts focus to divine protection, reinforced by the repeated hu {הוּא | hûʾ} “he” for continuity.
In context — Proverbs 24:12
If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not He who weighs hearts understand? And He who guards your soul —does He not know? And will He not repay each person according to his work?
