Exegesis
Retzono {רְצוֹנוֹ | rĕ-ṣō-nō} ‘his delight’ functions as the predicate, denoting God’s pleasure. The two balanced construct chains establish an antithetic structure contrasting external offerings with internal devotion and moral character.
In context — Proverbs 15:8
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD , but the prayer of the upright is His delight .
