Exegesis
The prepositional phrase levadka {לְבַדְּךָ | lə-vaḏ-khā} ‘alone’ highlights the mocker’s isolation, and the imperfect verb tissa {תִשָּׂא | ti-ṣāʾ} ‘you will bear’ projects the result into the future. The chiastic parallelism between wisdom and mockery underscores the contrast between reward and burden.
In context — Proverbs 9:12
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; but if you mock , you alone will bear .
