Exegesis
In the second hemistich, antithetic parallelism contrasts peta’yim {פְּ֝תָאיִ֗ם | pəṭā’îym} “the simple ones” with the prudent, as the Qal perfect avru {עָבְר֥וּ | ‘āḇrû} “go on” is followed by the Niphal perfect ne’enashu {נֶעֱנָֽשׁוּ | ne‘ənāšû} “are punished,” emphasizing the inevitable consequence of ignoring warning.
In context — Proverbs 27:12
The prudent perceives danger and takes refuge, but the simple go on and suffer punishment .
