Exegesis
The conjunction waw introduces the contrasting second clause, where ushefal-ruach {וּשְׁפַל־רוּחַ | u-šə-fal-rû-ăḥ} ‘and the lowly of spirit’ serves as the subject and is followed by the Qal imperfect yitmokh {יִתְמֹ֥ךְ | yiṯ-mō-ḵ} ‘will uphold’, taking kavod {כָּבוֹד | kā‾ḇō‾ḏ} ‘honor’ as its object. This structure highlights the downfall of pride versus the elevation of humility.
In context — Proverbs 29:23
A man’s pride will bring him low, but the one humble in spirit will be upheld in honor .
