Exegesis
The nominal predicate kesîl {כְּסִ֑יל | kesîl} follows a verbless clause with implied copula, while the niphal imperfect yimmāleṭ {יִמָּלֵֽט | yimmāleṭ} introduces a resultant-action clause. This structure underscores the contrast between self-reliance and prudent conduct, with participles rendering ongoing action and the niphal preserving future passive aspect.
In context — Proverbs 28:26
He who trusts in his own heart is a fool , but whoever walks in wisdom will be delivered .
