Exegesis
The conjunctive participle v’omer {וְאֹמֵ֥ר | wə’ōmêr} ‘and saying’ introduces the offender’s rationalization, followed by the verbless clause ein-pasha {אֵֽין־פָּ֑שַׁע | ’ên-pāšā‘} ‘there is no offense’, which downplays wrongdoing.
In context — Proverbs 28:24
Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “There is no offense,” is a companion to a man who destroys .
