Exegesis
With the vav-consecutive, wə-YHWH {וַיְהוָה | wə-YHWH} ‘and the LORD’ begins the result clause, and the imperfect yǝšallem {יְשַׁלֵּם | yǝšallem} ‘will repay’ underscores the certainty of divine action.
In context — Proverbs 25:22
For you will heap coals upon his head, and the LORD will repay you.
