Exegesis
The conjunction pen {פֶּן | pen} ‘lest’ introduces the negative apodosis, with tishbaenu {תִּשְׂבָּעֶנּוּ | ṯi-śbā-ʿe-nū} ‘you be filled’ followed by va-haqe‘to {וַהֲקֵאתוֹ | va-hă-qē-ʾā-tô} ‘and vomit it’, creating a typical exhortative structure that emphasizes measured behavior and its consequence.
In context — Proverbs 25:16
If you find honey, eat what is sufficient for you, lest you become glutted and vomit it.
