126 The conclusion or apodosis is now introduced.
127 Laughing at the consequences of the fool’s rejection of wisdom does convey hardness against the fool; it reveals the folly of rejecting wisdom (e.g., Ps 2:4). It vindicates wisdom and the appropriateness of the disaster (D. Kidner, Proverbs [], ).
128 Heb “at your disaster.” The 2nd person masculine singular suffix is either (1) a genitive of worth: “the disaster due you” or (2) an objective genitive: “disaster strikes you.” The term “disaster” (אֵיד, ’ed) often refers to final life-ending calamity (Prov 6:15; 24:22; 15 3). The preposition ב (bet) focuses upon time here.
129 Heb “your dread” (so ); “your fear”; “panic.” The 2nd person masculine singular suffix is a subjective genitive: “that which you dread.”
130 Heb “your dread.” See note on .
131 The term “whirlwind” (, , ; cf. , “storm”) refers to a devastating storm and is related to the verb שׁוֹא (sho’, “to crash into ruins”; see 996 שׁוֹאָה). Disaster will come swiftly and crush them like a devastating whirlwind.
132 Heb “your disaster.” The 2nd person masculine singular suffix is an objective genitive: “disaster strikes you.”
133 Heb “like a storm.” The noun סוּפָה (sufah, “storm”) is often used in similes to describe sudden devastation (Isa 5:28; Hos 8:7; Amos 1:14).
134 Heb “distress and trouble.” The nouns “distress and trouble” mean almost the same thing so they may form a hendiadys. The two similar sounding terms צוּקָה (tsuqah) and צָרָה (tsarah) also form a wordplay (paronomasia) which also links them together.
