Exegesis
The second clause begins with the conjunction and participle vena'tarot {וְ֝נַעְתָּר֗וֹת | wənəʿtārôt} ‘and abundant’ modifying the noun neshikot {נְשִׁיק֥וֹת | nəšîqōt} ‘kisses’, which are then specified by sone {שׂוֹנֵא | sōnēʾ} ‘hater’. This chiastic structure (A–B–B–A) contrasts reliable pain with deceptive affection to underscore the value of honest correction over flattering deceit.
In context — Proverbs 27:6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend , but profuse are the kisses of an enemy .
