Exegesis
The vav-conjunction links the active participles modeh {מוֹדֶה | mō-dé} ‘confessing’ and ʿōzēv {עֹזֵב | ʿō-zēv} ‘forsaking’, presenting a compound subject that is then rewarded by the Pual imperfect yerukham {יְרֻחָם | yə-rū-ḥām} ‘will be shown mercy’, highlighting divine passive response. This antithetical parallelism contrasts the futility of hiding sin with the assurance of mercy for those who confess and renounce.
Root and etymology
ר־ח־ם
