Exegesis
The verb yebarekh {יִבָרֵךְ | yə-ḇā-rêḵ} in the piel imperfect expresses ongoing divine blessing. This chiastic parallelism between curse/blessing and wicked/righteous underlines the moral antithesis central to Hebrew wisdom poetry.
In context — Proverbs 3:33
The curse of the LORD rests on the house of the wicked, but He will bless the habitation of the righteous .
