Exegesis
The imperfect verb ye’ehav {יֶאֱהָב | yeʾ-hā-ḇ} ‘he will be loved’ predicts the positive outcome of moral speech. English preserves the parallel structure by balancing the nominal construct and participial clause in two related clauses.
In context — Proverbs 16:13
Kings delight in righteous lips, and they love the one who speaks what is upright .
