Exegesis
The second clause, pimo dibru begeut {פִּימוֹ דִּבְּרוּ בְגֵאֽוּת | pîmô dîbberû bə-gē’ûṯ} “their mouth they have spoken with arrogance,” mirrors this pattern to highlight external expression.
The idiomatic use of “fat” conveys emotional insulation, and the Piel verb dibru {דִּבְּרוּ | dîbberû} intensifies the act of speaking, together underscoring moral insensitivity in both thought and word.
