Exegesis
The coordinate clause ve-af‘āpav {וְעַפְעַפָּיו | wə-‘ap-‘ā-pāv} ‘and his eyelids’ paired with the Niphal imperfect yinnāsē’û {יִנָּשֵׂאוּ | yinnāsē’û} ‘are lifted up’ establishes parallelism that intensifies the visual metaphor of self-exaltation. This parallel structure underscores the theme of arrogance through bodily imagery. In translation, the Hebrew perfect and imperfect aspects are rendered in the English present tense to convey an ongoing characteristic, while the coordinate linkage preserves the poetic balance.
