Exegesis
The main clause mivṭāḥ bōgeḏ bə-yōm ṣārָה {מִבְטָח בּוֹגֵד בְּיוֹם צָרָה | mivṭāḥ bōgeḏ bə-yōm ṣārָה} ‘trust in a treacherous one in a day of distress’ is a noun construct where mivṭāḥ heads a genitive relationship with bōgeḏ and is specified by the temporal prepositional phrase bə-yōm ṣārָה. The Hebrew word order is preserved to maintain rhetorical progression from imagery to ethical application.
In context — Proverbs 25:19
Like a broken tooth and a slipping foot, so is confidence in a treacherous person in a day of trouble .
