Exegesis
A vav conjunction introduces u-mevakshei {וּמְבַקְשֵׁ֥י | ū-mə-vak-šê} ‘and seekers of,’ linking to YHWH {יְ֝הוָ֗ה | Yə-hō-wāh} ‘LORD’ in construct, before returning to yavinu {יָבִ֥ינוּ | yā-wî-nū} ‘they understand’ and concluding with kol {כֹֽל | kōl} ‘all,’ intensifying universal scope. English renders the antithetical parallelism with “but,” preserving the contrast between human ignorance and divine insight.
Root and etymology

In context — Proverbs 28:5
