Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction in ve-golel {וְגֹלֵל | wə-gōlêl} ‘and rolls’ introduces a second parallel action with the participle governing even {אֶבֶן | ʾeḇen} ‘stone’, culminating in tashuv {תָּשׁוּב | tāšûwḇ} ‘it will return’.
In context — Proverbs 26:27
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; and whoever rolls a stone will have it return upon him.
