Exegesis
The final verb yachqerennu {יַחְקְרֶנּוּ | yaḥ-qə-rēn-nû}, a qal imperfect with a third person masculine singular suffix, returns to the rich man, completing a chiastic structure that contrasts perceived wisdom with evaluative scrutiny. English rendering preserves the inversion and antithesis by using “but” for the Hebrew vav.
In context — Proverbs 28:11
A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man with understanding examines him.
