Exegesis
The participle oseh-eleh {עֹשֵׂה־אֵלֶּה | ʿō-śēh-ʾêl-leh} ‘doing these’ functions as the subject of the final clause, where the Nifal imperfect yimot {יִמּוֹט | yim-mōṭ} ‘he shall be moved’ and the prepositional adverb leolam {לְעוֹלָם | lə-ʿō-lām} ‘forever’ convey enduring stability. The chiastic structure underscores the moral contrast between corrupt economic actions and the unshakeable security of the righteous.
