Exegesis

The conjunction wə- {וּ | wə-} links to a parallel clause where bə-ḡā-dāyw {בְּגָדָיו | bə-ḡā-dāyw} ‘in his garments’ is followed by the negator lōʾ {לֹא | lōʾ} and ti-ssā-rap-nāh {תִּשָּׂרַפְנָה | ti-ssā-rap-nāh} ‘will burn,’ portraying the inevitable consequence. This chiastic parallelism between drawing near danger and suffering its result underscores the moral lesson on intimate contact with harm.

In context — Proverbs 6:27

Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?
