Exegesis
The adversative conjunction ve {וְ | wə} introduces the antithetic clause, in which roeh zonot {רֹעֶה ז֝וֹנ֗וֹת | rō·ʿê zō·nōṯ} uses a Qal participle with a plural noun to describe ongoing association.
In context — Proverbs 29:3
A man who loves wisdom makes his father rejoice, but one who keeps company with prostitutes destroys his wealth.
