Exegesis
The apodosis features the adverb peta {פֶּתַע | pè-ṭaʿ} ‘suddenly’ immediately before the Niphal imperfect yishshaver {יִשָּׁבֵר | yiš-šā-vēr} ‘will be broken’, heightening the abruptness of the judgment.
In context — Proverbs 29:1
One who stiffens his neck after many rebukes will suddenly be broken, and there will be no remedy .
