Exegesis
The verb yosif {יֹסִ֥יף | yō-sîp} ‘he will increase’ portrays ongoing advance, and ometz {אֹֽמֶץ | ʾō-meṣ} ‘strength’ names the resulting resilience. English rendering preserves the parallel progression by pairing “hold fast” with “increase,” and by expressing the construct idiom as an attribute of the person rather than a mere abstract quality.
Root and etymology
consonantsAleph–Mem–Tsade
“to be strong, courageous”
In context — Job 17:9
And the righteous will hold fast to his way, and the clean-handed will increase in strength.
