Exegesis
רְצוֹנֽוֹ {רְצוֹנֽוֹ | ré-ṣō-nō} ‘his delight’ is a possessive construct referring back to the LORD. Hebrew parallelism contrasts deceptive speech with faithful conduct; English renders the nominal clause with “are” and supplies active verbs to convey judgment and approval.
In context — Proverbs 12:22
Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD , but those who act faithfully are His delight .
