Exegesis
The vav consecutive Hifil form ve-heshiv {וְהֵשִׁיב | wə-hē-šîḇ} ‘and he will-turn’ introduces the consequential removal of anger, appo {אַפּוֹ | ’āp-pō} ‘his anger’, from the offender. This structure underscores a conditional warning followed by divine response based on moral perception.
In context — Proverbs 24:18
Lest the LORD see it and deem it evil in His eyes , and turn His anger away from him.
