Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb יִנְעָ֑ם, it will be pleasant, governs the sentence, with two phrases following: a prepositional phrase indicating who is being rebuked and a noun phrase describing the blessings that will come. The structure emphasizes the cause-and-effect relationship between rebuke and blessing.
The word order places the subject of the blessings at the end, highlighting the outcome for those who rebuke the guilty. This arrangement draws attention to the blessings as a significant result of their actions.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
