16 my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.
16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
16 My inmost being
16 My heart will dance and sing to the tuneful truth you'll speak.
16 Yes, my inmost being will rejoice When your lips speak right things.
16 Everything in me will celebrate when you speak what is right.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 23:16
Commentary on Proverbs 23:12-16
(Read Proverbs 23:12-16)
Here is a parent instructing his child to give his mind to the Scriptures. Here is a parent correcting his child: accompanied with prayer, and blessed of God, it may prove a means of preventing his destruction. Here is a parent encouraging his child, telling him what would be for his good. And what a comfort it would be, if herein he answered his expectation!
