PROVERBS 23:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.”
My inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right—an amplification of 23:15, emphasizing that the father's deepest self is affected by the son's speech. The phrase 'inmost being' (kilyot) describes the innermost parts; the parent is transformed by the child's righteousness. The theological significance involves the principle that our choices affect not merely ourselves but those who love us.
