Exegesis
The verse begins with the conditional conjunction ki {כִּי | kî}, introducing the protasis “if you say,” followed by direct speech marked by the interjection hen {הֵן | hēn} “behold.”
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?
