Every exalted heart is an abomination to Yahweh
"Yahweh strongly hates every exalted heart." See how you translated "abomination" in Proverbs 3:2.
Every exalted heart
Here the word "exalted" is a metaphor for "arrogant" because the person himself exalts his heart rather than allowing God or other people to exalt it. The word "heart" represents the person. Alternate translation: "everyone who is arrogant" or "every arrogant person" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche)
they will not go unpunished
The two negatives in this phrase strongly emphasize the positive. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "Yahweh will certainly punish them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-litotes and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive)
