Exegesis
The compound chadrei-baten {חַדְרֵי־בָּטֶן | ḥăd·rê bā·ṯen} ‘chambers of the belly’ combines a plural construct with a singular absolute to denote the innermost recesses. The English translation mirrors the Hebrew simile and construct syntax by preserving the parallel structure and idiomatic imagery.

In context — Proverbs 18:8
