and a thick-headed fool
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + masculine singular noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כְּסִיל derives from the root כסל, conveying thickness or dull heaviness extended metaphorically to moral and intellectual insensibility. The prefixed conjunction וּ adds "and," and the masculine singular form is preserved with "a ... fool." |
