Exegesis
The conjunction ve-ʾet {וְאֶת | wə-ʾeṯ} marks a direct object and signals a contrast with yĕšārîm {יְשָׁרִים | yĕ-šā-rîm} ‘upright ones,’ who receive sōdô {סוֹדוֹ | sō-ḏō} ‘counsel.’ The synonymous parallelism of ‘abomination’ versus ‘counsel’ and ‘perverse’ versus ‘upright’ underscores moral duality. English renders the participle as a substantive and reorders phrases for clarity while preserving causal and adversative relationships.
