Exegesis
The conjunction veacharito {וְ֝אַחֲרִיתוֹ | wə·’ă·ḥă·rî·ṯô} ‘and his end’ introduces the apodosis, and the imperfect verb yihyeh {יִהְיֶ֥ה | yi·hî·yêh} ‘he will be’ signals the consequent result, followed by the predicate noun manon {מָנֽוֹן | mā·nôn} ‘rival’. This protasis–apodosis structure presents cause and effect; English renderings shift phrase order for clarity while preserving the causal link and the ironic reversal of roles.
Root and etymology
m-n-hmem–nun–heh

In context — Proverbs 29:21
