Exegesis
The conjunction ve {וְ | wə} links to dibbatekha {דִבָּתְךָ | dibbatekha} ‘your reproach’, and lo tashuv {לֹא תָשׁוּב | lōʾ tāšûḇ} employs a negative Qal imperfect to indicate that the reproach will not return—underscoring the irrevocable nature of slander once heard.
In context — Proverbs 25:10
Lest the hearer shame you, and your reproach will not return .
