Exegesis
The adversative velo yagid {וְלֹ֣א יַגִּֽיד | wə-lōʾ ya-gîd} ‘and does not declare’ contrasts perception with silence. This two-part parallelism emphasizes moral complicity and deliberate concealment, and the hiphil voice of yagid intensifies the subject’s active refusal to disclose.
In context — Proverbs 29:24
Whoever partners with a thief hates his own soul ; he hears the oath yet does not report it.
