Exegesis
The vav-consecutive vešar {וְשָׁ֥ר | wə-šar} ‘and one who sings’ links to bashirim {בַּ֝שִּׁרִ֗ים | bə-širˈim} ‘songs’, setting up the counterpart action.
In context — Proverbs 25:20
Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, and like vinegar on natron , so is the one who sings songs to a troubled heart .
