Exegesis
Each is followed by an imperfect verb paired with its noun: yegareh {יְגָרֶ֣ה | yəgāréh} ‘he stirs up’ with madon {מָד֑וֹן | mā́dōn} ‘strife,’ and rav {רַב־ | răv} ‘abundant’ with pāšāʿ {פָּשַׁע | pā-šāʿ} ‘transgression.’ The vav-conjunction in ūḇāʿǎl links the two halves, underscoring a causal progression from disposition to moral failure. English structure preserves this chiasmic rhythm by mirroring the Hebrew’s paired clauses and causal linkage.
