Exegesis
The coordinated action–result sequence bo-yoruts {בּֽוֹ־יָר֖וּץ | bō-yārûṣ} ‘runs into it’ + ve-nisgav {וְנִשְׂגָּב | wə-niśgāḇ} ‘and is exalted’ highlights the swift flight of the righteous into security and their ensuing elevation. The formal translation preserves Hebrew word order and metaphorical force, while the dynamic rendering employs a simile and natural phrasing for clarity.
In context — Proverbs 18:10
The name of the LORD is a tower of strength; the righteous one runs into it and is set securely on high.
